Starts Friday: Learn to Write Stunning Sentences!

Published about 18 hours ago • 1 min read

You can write stunning sentences.

And starting this Friday, February 6, you can learn how with acclaimed author and teacher Nina Schuyler, author of How to Write Stunning Sentences.

In this six-session course, Nina will guide you through the building blocks of unforgettable prose, showing you how sentences create voice, rhythm, and meaning on the page.

From Nina:

“All writers rely on the same building blocks: words. But what they do with those words distinguishes and defines their writing. Style is not decoration—it is content. Each week builds on the previous week using a spiral approach, integrating what you’ve already learned. Along the way, we’ll study published texts and generate our own stunning sentences.”
