Have you ever thought about the sound and shape of the words you’re writing and the impact they make on the reader? You’ll gain a whole new appreciation for language when you attend Shutta Crum’s Zoom presentation on Saturday, January 23 at 10:30 a.m. In “Sound, Shape & Sense: The Work of Our Words,” Shutta will lead us in the study of creating soundscapes (music) with our words by taking a deep look at literary techniques and mentor texts. Sound will be explored in terms of how it intensifies voice, enhances characterization, and expands setting. Shape will be looked at in terms of how words and white space grace the page to further understanding. And sense will be studied in the way word choice amplifies the historical and cultural aspects of our work. Shutta Crum is the author of three novels, thirteen picture books, one volume of poetry, numerous individually published poems, and many magazine articles. And, currently, she is a regular blogger for the Florida Writers Association website.
