Learn 3 concrete techniques to enhance sentence variety in your prose.

Typically, when we talk about sentence variety, we talk about the grammatical structure of a sentence. If a string of sentences all have similar structures, then we can switch up the grammar in a couple to make things more interesting. But simple grammar is a byproduct of the ways we think on the page. A more effective way to achieve sentence variety is to use different types of thinking, and different literary elements, to change not just the structure but the very substance of our prose.

In this workshop you’ll learn and practice 3 simple techniques for bringing more variety to your sentences. We’ll consider syntax, musicality, and detail, and discover how focusing on any one of these areas will naturally generate varying sentence structures.

This workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced writers interested in the subtle ways that language can function.
