DISCOVER:
How Body Language can be applied to ANY story, fast-paced or gentle, tense or a quiet read to create engaging characters and bring emotions needed to your story.
Why dialogue alone isn't enough to create a compelling story.
The emotional promise for each type of story and how to deliver on that promise for your readers.
The tools and skills to use non-verbal communication to any story to bring it to life.
Here's what previous attendees have said:
Your teaching always raises hope and a can-do attitude. Rolling my sleeves up, and ready to apply an uptake of body language.
In all three novels I reviewed for my current usage of body language I just had my characters nod and sigh. Oh boy...I am very predictable.
Being a multi-published I thought I understood body language. I didn’t have a clue until this class. Thank you!
Join this opportunity to grow your skills and commit to excellence in your writing!
