Using Nonverbal Communication to Wow Readers WEBINAR

Hi everyone!




 I just wanted to post a reminder about our webinar tomorrow at WANA International. This is a great opportunity to talk show about one of the biggest problems writers face: showing character emotion. 




Here's more info below, along with the REGISTRATION LINK. Hope to see you there!  





Using Nonverbal Communication to Wow Readers 




Instructors: Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi

Email: jaddpublishing@gmail.com

Date: May 14th, 2013, 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm EST 



Description:

Readers read to have an emotional experience, to feel what’s happening on the page. With the vast competition in publishing today, it’s more important than ever for authors to hook readers through strong emotional connections. One of the best ways to make this happen is by clearly conveying the character’s emotion through a variety of techniques.





This 90-minute course will teach you the effectiveness of showing (rather than telling) your character’s emotion. You will learn how to build reader empathy by showing emotion through dialogue, thoughts, body language, and visceral reactions. Also covered are common problem areas, such as melodrama and clichés, and how to avoid them.



Special Notes: This course for writers of all genres will include a presentation and Q&A session. Each attendee will also receive a PDF version of  The Emotion Thesaurus: A Guide to Character Expression, to aid them in their writing efforts. If the attendee already has this resource, they can have their copy gifted to a friend!



There are loads of great classes at WANA International, so feel free to swing by and have a look!
