Description

You hear it all the time: "Show, don’t tell." But what does it mean and how can you ensure you give your readers the visual cues and impact needed to convey emotion, setting, or action? Zachary Steele, author and Founder of Broadleaf Writers, will take a deep dive into the process of drawing the most out of your characters and settings without telling the reader what you want them to know. Bring something to write with (there will be prompts!) and all the questions you have on this critical aspect of telling a fantastic story. Zachary Steele is the author of four novels, including The Weight of Ashes, nominated for Georgia Author of the Year in 2021, and Perfectly Normal (July 2023). He has been featured in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Publisher’s Weekly, Writer’s Magazine, Shelf Awareness, and City Lights with Lois Reitzes on NPR. Currently, he is hard at work on The Fallen Hero, the first in a series of fantasy novels. You can follow his ramblings on writing and life at zacharysteele.com. Books available for sale and signing. This program is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended. REGISTER HERE
