November Meeting – Show Me Descriptions in the World of Mystery
Join Mary Coley as she discusses how to ‘show’ your way to make money in mysteries. Imagery created by word choice to promote an emotional response is the key. Bring paper and pencil to this hands-on workshop. Through a series of flash prompts, you’ll create a character, a place, and a non-human you can use to populate any mysterious story.
