New Upcoming Class – Crafting Your Story’s Atmosphere

This April I’ll be teaching an online class examining atmosphere to show writers tools and techniques they can use in their own writing to make their stories evocative and memorable.

Make readers feel your story by crafting its atmosphere in a multilayered way from the sentences and words to the micro tension of your piece. In this 90-minute class, you’ll learn what contributes to a story’s atmosphere by analyzing published short stories and practice crafting different levels of atmosphere using exercises and prompts.

Crafting Your Story’s Atmosphere will cover what atmosphere is, how to identify it in stories, and exercises to help writers determine their story’s atmosphere and how to enhance it using specific techniques like word choice, syntax, and micro tension.

Anyone who wants to register for the class can do so through Her Story’s website.
