Discover how sensory details can elevate your writing from ordinary to extraordinary in this lecture and workshop. Through immersive exercises focusing on each of the five senses, followed by practical editing techniques, you’ll learn to craft vivid, evocative descriptions and master the art of selective prose. Sensory details can transform a story from something mundane into something truly beautiful, but they can also be easily overwritten. In this lecture, we practice writing about each of our senses in turn, then discuss how to edit so that only the most compelling descriptions remain in our final draft.
