Micromanage Your Writing [Geraldine Woods]

All Levels | A sentence that doubles back on itself, a word that repeats or shifts in meaning, sounds that match or clash—these are some of the micro-adjustments authors make to reinforce or deliberately undermine meaning. In this course we’ll examine these and other techniques in sentences and paragraphs from fiction, poetry, drama, nonfiction, and song lyrics created by a diverse array of writers. Students will practice the techniques discussed and share the results with the class.
