For awhile now I've had this idea to create a monthly podcast all about the writing topics that I most get asked about by clients and the students in the workshops I teach. That's why I'm so excited to announce that I am officially launching my new podcast: Writing Radio. Each month in the podcast I'll be doing a mini-writing workshop on hot topics that will help make you a better writer. This month's topic is... How To Write Descriptively So You Make Readers Eager to Turn the Page One of the biggest challenges writers have is balancing between showing and telling. A common complaint I hear is, "I don't know how to write descriptively enough to paint a picture for the reader." In writing, telling occurs a lot more than showing, but showing is what keeps readers turning the page. Every writer could seriously benefit from a lesson in writing more descriptively (myself included!). That's why I thought this was the perfect topic for the debut podcast. You will walk away from this month's Writing Radio podcast with:

Three exercises you can use to make your writing more descriptive
A short written piece you can continue working on (if you want to)
Confidence that you can now write more descriptively

If you're ready to write much more descriptively, I invite you to join me...
