Writing Techniques w/ Wendi Silvano - 2nd Saturday Community Event

Writing Techniques w/ Wendi Silvano - 2nd Saturday Community Event

The way we use language as writers (i.e. word choice, sentence pattern and length, pauses, punctuation, and more) can affect pacing, increase tension, create tone or mood and evoke an emotional response in our readers. Come learn how to use these techniques to maximum effect from local book author Wendi Silvano.

This event takes place at 2 p.m., Saturday, November 13 in the Plateau Valley School library, 56600 CO-330, Collbran.
