Too often, writers think about reading as a silent activity. But, if you slow down to think about it, you are probably HEARING these very words “out loud” in your head. That’s because reading isn’t silence based, it's SOUND based. In this session, we will discuss how to use sound as a meaningful sensory consideration in composing your writing, and how this emphasis on sound can improve or even transform your creative approach, regardless of genre. (We will also listen to some Johnny Cash, Naughty by Nature, and Olivia Rodrigo—so hey maybe just come for that!)
