To meet this challenge\, writers can employ a number of techniques to communicate that their stories will pay off and ultimately be worth readers’ precious time. Jonathan Escoffery will provide strategies for engaging readers\, and discuss examples from the works of well-loved authors\, as well as his own stories. He will be joined in conversation by Juan Carlos Reyes. \nWord Works craft talks by novelists\, essayists\, poets\, and memoirists focus on writing as process rather than finished product\, examining how language works to inspire and provoke new ideas through live close readings of the writer’s own or others’ work. These talks are designed to apply to writers of all genres as well as illuminate well-known works for avid readers. The talks are followed by an interview with a noted editor\, writer\, or critic. \nSee the full 2022-23 Word Works series lineup here » \nInterested in attending the entire series? Purchase a series pass to see all six events for the price of five » \nThank you to our Word Works season sponsor\, KCTS 9.
