The Story Beneath the Surface:
How to Craft an Emotional Journey For Your Readers

You are invited to join a free talk and Q&A session with author and writing instructor Erin Swann.

How do you show emotions on the page? How do you make your readers feel your character’s joy, pain, or anger?

During this lecture, Erin will show you how to write authentic emotions that resonate with your readers. You will also learn to add depth and complexity to your characters, so they don’t just live on the page, but stay with your readers long after they’ve finished the book. Erin will also give you a warm-up exercise to help you get started, and show you how (and why) third-level emotions are vital for making sure the emotions in your story remain authentic.

Sign up now to watch the recording, or attend live on Friday, January 10th, at 8pm ET / 5pm PT / 1am GMT. (12pm Saturday in Sydney, Australia.)

By signing up, we will also let you know about future lectures, workshops, and opportunities from The Writer's Workshop at Authors Publish.
