Do it through description, through setting, through the use of the senses, and the diction of your story. The right choice of words and you move a reader from feeling safe and secure to biting her nails; change the structure of your sentences and take the reader from relaxed to excited. In this workshop, we’ll explore techniques that create atmosphere, generate mood and evoke emotion, with lots of in-workshop exercises you can apply to your own writing. For all writers—fiction and nonfiction.

This workshop is just one of dozens of workshops, panels, read and critique sessions and speakers scheduled for this weekend conference in Irvine, CA. Find out more here: Southern California Writers’ Conference
