Show, Don’t Tell is so important to writing great fiction, but it’s not always easy to understand how to do it well. This course does that. Sandy takes writers into their characters and teaches authors how to write from the inside out and get emotions on the page. With several short videos and many examples, Sandy leads a class with kindness and encouragement and shares her knowledge in an easy-to-navigate classroom. With each lesson, students are encouraged to share excerpts of their own work for a detailed critique. I highly recommend this class.
I’m so grateful for these webinars!! They are the perfect addition to the classes and immersion sessions. This webinar was fantastic and just what I needed. Just when you think there’s nothing more to learn you realize there’s so much more. Margie always delivers what I need. I’m so grateful to have access to these classes.
The Course I did with Sandy was excellent. The Course Notes were clear and concise.
This course was incredibly informative in helping me to structure my novel and understand the various parts that go together to make a great story. I appreciated the in-depth focus on various elements. This was the first course that I have taken that did this perfectly for me in a way that I understood. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Loads of benefits in taking a class with Sarah. Sarah not only taught the subject of conflict and tension in detail, but also made herself available for other writing questions, encouragement, teaching and reviewing.
I appreciate how Sarah taught her class and offered supportive, constructive feedback. I went into the class confused about the very difference between conflict and tension, and Sarah cleared that up in an easy-to-understand format.
Many thanks, Sarah. I enjoyed the class immensely.
