THE MAGIC OF WORDS
Hannah Howell will discuss how to make your writing sparkle with the right words. The words you select can add depth and drama to your writing or make it just one of far too many manuscripts piling up on an editor's desk. Good, but not good enough. She'll show how one word can change the whole meaning of a scene. She'll reveal the hidden traps in a thesaurus. With examples and handouts, as well as a short exercise she'll show how one word can add to any scene, enhance the atmosphere, or reveal emotion even with something as simple as a verb change.
