The Art of Description

Master descriptive techniques to bring historical settings vividly to life for readers.

Description is the bridge that immerses readers in the world of your story. In this interactive workshop, Eric Z. Weintraub will show how careful historical research can inform rich, authentic descriptions, then guide participants through a hands-on writing session focused on crafting scenes that rely entirely on descriptive language.

By isolating one literary technique at a time, this workshop helps you discover creative choices that elevate your storytelling, deepen historical authenticity, and make your characters’ worlds come alive.

Session Goals:
• Demonstrate how research can enhance vivid, immersive description
• Guide participants in writing scenes using only descriptive techniques
• Reveal creative strategies to strengthen historical fiction through focused literary tools

Presenter:
Eric Z. Weintraub
