That signature of style, syntax, and character personality are essential to a publishable--and memorable--manuscript. Join Jordan Rosenfeld, author, manuscript editor, and writing coach as she tackles this essential element of character development and manuscript magic. The class will mine for character influence and experience and explore how it manifests at the sentence level. Not only will these techniques allow you to know your characters more deeply, they’ll help you instantly elevate your story’s style and quality.
