About

Want to sound more thoughtful, persuasive, or powerful in your writing? In this session, we’ll look at how authors use literary devices—like imagery, simile/metaphor, and diction—and learn how to apply those same techniques in your own essays, stories, or arguments. You’ll leave with examples, writing practice, and go-to strategies to level up your writing style instantly.
