Hatch a Captivating Narrative: Improve your Word Craft.

Writers are magicians that can conjure emotion and empathy if they are careful about word choice.

As an editor, I want writers around the world to learn how to use words to make connections with their readers. It is essential for your success. There is science behind the emotional connection that bonds a reader to the writer when we tap into the words that hit our senses and ignite our emotions.
Vivid verbs and imagery are essential tools for a writer. Learn how to pick those words out of other writings and find ways to improve your own work by setting the scene with the correct tone and feeling that you want your readers to feel. Much of a reader’s experience is based on how the book or story makes them feel.

Craft your story and hook readers so that they are loyal and enthusiastic about your work.
