A series of short deep-dives into one aspect of writing craft: bring your lunch and your notepad for a quick writing session!

Stephen King says that the road to hell is paved with adverbs. It might not be true, but do you want to take that risk? This lunchtime session focuses on the power of the right verb and how it can clean up and tighten any writing.

You will learn:

  • What a verb is and what it does
  • Elegant variation and how to avoid it
  • Invisible verbs
  • How to integrate the right verb into your writing
