How to break a heart
Making your readers go "ouch"
As a thank you to my paid subscribers, I offer quarterly workshops in addition to monthly writing assignments. So excited to announce our Spring workshop below!
How to Break a Heart: Creating emotional resonance in your writing
Spring workshop for paid Substack subscribers
Tuesday | March 11th | 5pm PDT
What we’ll cover:
Robert Frost famously said: No tears for the writer, no tears for the reader.
As an author, I’m often asked how to gain Substack subscribers and Instagram followers. But, at its core, this is the wrong question. A better, more meaningful inquiry is: how can you make a reader deeply feel?
How can you make your readers live in their bodies? Become little flames? How do you blur boundaries so they feel your experience as their own?
In this 90 minute workshop, we’ll learn how to make a reader deeply connect with our writing. Together, we’ll explore the transformative techniques that unlock heartbreak, joy, and shared empathy in our readers.
There will be a Q+A at the end.
