Night Writers Workshop (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Facilitated by author and teacher Rick Holinger, this workshop welcomes writers of all abilities and genres. This month's topic: Details

Discussion topic: This month’s topic explores a common piece of writing advice: writers often “overtell” instead of letting dialogue and action speak for themselves. The discussion will look at when description becomes too much telling, when writers should trust readers to fill in the blanks, and how that can deepen a reader’s investment in the story. We will also consider how much writers should describe the physical characteristics of their characters. 

The Night Writers Workshop discusses various topics within writing and provides a welcoming environment for peer feedback. The program is organized into two sections: critique of submitted manuscripts and discussion of writing topics. For more information on submitting a manuscript, please visit Night Writer Guidelines.
