Wake Up Your Prose: Description Unpacked

Hey you!

Yes, you.

Is this you:

"I can't seem to get the voice right in my prose; I sound either pretentious, trite, or inane.

Or is this you:

"I can't get myself to just sit down and write!

Wake Up Your Prose: Description Unpacked is:

• 10 modules (plus a bonus module!)
• self-paced
• video
• supplemented with comprehensive workbooks for each module
• filled with hands-on, fun writing exercises
• broken up into bite-size, easy-to-understand lessons
• a breeze to implement in your own writing

Imagine this:

• You take the course and your descriptive writing jumps to new levels
• Your prose stands head and shoulders above the functionally illiterate masses
• Your Inbox fills with acceptance letters from gobsmacked editors

I'll teach you to go deep with description. I'll hand over all my description tips & tricks. And I'll show you how to apply what you've learned to whatever genre is your thing: fiction, nonfiction, content writing, memoir, or shopping lists (just kidding about that last one).

Finally, say what you mean in the most excellent way possible.

Leave vagueness – but not your brain – at the door.

See literary obscurity bite the dust.

The blank page is calling you to greatness.

If...

• you want to raise your writing to a new level
• you don't want to be constrained by formal, scheduled classes
• you want someone to walk you through the steps
• you want to have fun doing it

then Wake Up Your Prose: Description Unpacked is for you.

The course comes with 11 workbooks and 10 hands-on writing exercises. Here's a peek at what we'll be covering:

Module 1: Description Warm-Up. Get started right away, without a bunch of fluff and time-wasting information about me and why I'm so great. (I've provided a bio before Module 1; otherwise, how could you trust me?)

Module 2: Method Writing. Write about your own life and develop an arsenal of emotions and experiences to apply to your prose. (And get in the habit of writing every day.)

Module 3: Description Basics. The what, why, and how of description, and description best practices.

Module 4: The Art of Storytelling. Grab your readers from the get-go and use description tools for awesome storytelling and narrative.

Module 5: Show. Learn how to get your readers to experience, not just read, your prose.

Module 6: Tell. Report facts vividly, and move your narrative along in an interesting and masterful way.

Module 7: Analogy, Metaphor, and Simile. Use what your reader knows to convey something they don't know.

Module 8: Putting It All Together: Description Review and Reinforcement. What did we learn? Where do we go from here? Recap the course and learn something new.

Module 9: Quick & Dirty Tips for Enhanced Description. Bonus techniques and advice from a veteran editor (me).

Module 10: The "G" Word: Grammar. A non-threatening lesson on why you have a greater chance of writing success if you care about grammar.

Bonus Module: Flash Fiction. Learn the basics of this trending genre, and try your hand at a complete story in less than 1,000 words!

What kind of time commitment is all this? you ask.

Good question.

The course is self-paced, so you can take as much or as little time as you wish to go through the modules and complete the exercises. Modules are anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes long. The writing exercises after each module take between 10 and 30 minutes to complete.

Each module builds on the foundations of the previous modules, and the exercises are designed to allow you to employ everything you've learned so far. I'm confident that even after the first module, you'll significantly improve your descriptive writing skills – and therefore, your writing.

Why should I learn from you? you also ask.

I've done content editing, technical editing, developmental editing, line editing, copy editing, proofreading, and acquisitions. I've worked on novels, law books, medical books, philosophy, biography, memoir, textbooks, general nonfiction, children's books, young adult books, comic books – you name it.

I also run Bulletproof Writing, a website and blog that nurtures writers and aspiring writers, showing them how to write better and more effectively. My blog posts cover writing techniques, "comedy grammar," and tips for the writing life. I have literally hundreds of raving fans, and their engagement level is well over industry standards.

Bottom line: When it comes to writing, I know what sounds good and what doesn't.

And I know how to teach it.
