Reading a book with flat-lined cadence is like watching a movie on mute.

Most writers know about the power of rhythm and cadence and beats. But most don’t use that power as often as they could.

A compelling cadence is more than varying sentence lengths. More than using ­­­­­stand alone words.

A compelling cadence carries power on the page. It propels readers through paragraphs and passages and pages.

We’ll cover:

1. How Cadence Conquers Content
2. How to Boost Cadence with Five Fabulous Rhetorical Devices
3. How to Use Powerful Cadence to Grab the Reader with an Emotional Boom!
