Emotion in Fiction: Making Characters Real, Making Readers Feel

Emotion in Fiction
Angie Hodapp

Picture
Memorable stories are rooted in emotion, and your ability to deliver an emotional experience time and time again often correlates to your success with readers.
​In this workshop, dive into how emotion informs your fiction from three different angles: Writer, Reader, and Character.
​
Learn how to deepen readers’ emotional experience of your stories using suffering, sacrifice, jeopardy, and--yes!—sexual tension. Discover not only how but also where along your story’s structural arc to plant moments of moments of emotional poignancy.

Explore your use of body language, gestures, and other emotional cues on the page, and drill down into how to make unlikable, inscrutable, or non-emotive characters resonate with readers. You’ll walk away with dozens of tips for revising your work, from prose to scenes to plot, with an eye toward delivering emotionally irresistible fiction.
