SUMMARY:WEBINAR | Sentencing: Power\, Precision\, and Purpose in Every Line
DESCRIPTION:Break out of your habitual syntax\, and harness the energy in the smallest\, most important narrative unit.\n\n\n\nFor Memoir and Nonfiction ProseIncluded in the Season Pass \n\n\n\nWriting lives or dies at the sentence level. So what makes a sentence work? Learn the nuances of sentence craft and make sure every line carries its weight. \n\n\n\nThe sentence is the essential building block of any piece of writing—and it must do multiple kinds of work at once: convey meaning\, generate emotion\, and sustain momentum. Yet many writers underestimate how much power resides at this level and how deliberately sentences must be shaped to carry that weight. This isn’t about grammar or a particular “literary voice\,” but about understanding the mechanics of sentence craft to carry out your true\, distinct voice while delivering a powerful story. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, we take a focused look at the art of the sentence. You will learn to shape sentences that create authority\, distinctiveness\, and voice; build fresh new patterns that sustain reader interest from line to line; and diagnose the hidden strengths and weaknesses in your own sentence-level habits. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this webinar\, you will:\n\n\n\n\nIDENTIFY the sentence habits that limit a manuscript’s effectiveness \n\n\n\nAPPLY three key sentence techniques—compression\, expansion\, and rhythm control—to create more compelling prose\n\n\n\nBUILD special sentence-level craft skills\, including strategic withholding\, revelation\, and syntactic variation\n\n\n\nLEARN how to revise ordinary sentences into memorable\, voice-driven lines that carry greater emotional and narrative impact AND\n\n\n\nDESIGN purposeful sequences of sentences that generate momentum\, surprise\, and flow on the page\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is ideal for beginning writers or seasoned pros in need of a tune-up.\n\n\n\nClosed captioning is available. ✔All registrants receive the recording. ✔ \n\n\n\nABOUT YOUR PRESENTER\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Heather Sellers has been teaching for over thirty years\, and she doesn’t teach like anyone else.
