Congratulations you have a draft of your novel! 

It’s time to slash, invigorate, and finesse your words, into a well rounded story.

This workshop will provide you with some tools, and hands on experience, to help you:

• Identify what to filter out of your novel.

• How to show a reader what is happening versus telling them. 

• You don’t like to be told what to do, why would a reader?

• Assess your dialogue and emotion mechanics

• For example, are all of those adverbs necessary?

• Use the five senses.

• Analyze your word choice and potential use repetition

• Identify if your exposition is getting in the way of your story.
