Nora Profit, director of The Writing Loft, will discuss “How Emotional Impact is Achieved in Writing” as Tri-Valley Writers’ February guest speaker. “Writers are often unaware that regardless of how well a manuscript is written, if it doesn’t impact the reader emotionally, it is all for naught. Description doesn’t provide emotional content, neither does what a character is feeling. This discussion delivers the much-needed and often neglected information about how emotional impact is achieved. Readers become emotionally involved in a story only when the techniques that are revealed in this discussion are employed.”
Nora is a riveting, fun, and unforgettable speaker who teaches writers a wide range of science-backed strategies with craft-changing impact. She speaks to thousands of writers annually in writing groups, clubs and organizations from Southern California to Washington State, to Idaho and Montana.
She has had more than 400 articles printed. Her broad experience in the world of writing includes everything from books, articles, newsletters, and short stories to newspaper columns, interviews, pamphlets, and brochures. She is a featured author in Chicken Soup for the Writer’s Soul, and Chicken Soup: Living Your Dreams. Her own books include 10 Glaring Mistakes Amateur Writers Make and How to Avoid Them, The Ultimate Novel WritingWorkbook, and numerous how-to booklets on the craft of writing. She graduated with honors from San Jose State University with a degree in Journalism. Visit Nora at: www.TheWritingLoft.com.
