We all know stories have high impact. Great storytelling engages your reader and persuades your audience. Let bestselling fiction author Allie Pleiter show you how elements of fiction—dialogue, description, and characterization—can give your non-fiction writing power, sparkle, and the ability to stick with your reader.
Participants will learn:
– Where and when to use dialogue
– How much description is too much?
– Creating and using case-study characters
– The power of storytelling in non-fiction
Whether you write memoir, business, how-to, essay, or any other non-fiction, your work can have new vibrancy with techniques borrowed from your favorite novel.
