WIP Tips - Helpful Hints for your Work in Progress - Scintillating Scenes

 For a few years now I have been doing a regular broadcast called The Author Journey where I feature authors of all genres and publishing pathways, and industry experts. Recently, I mixed it up a bit and added a short video series called WIP Tips where I offer helpful advice for writers, and personal insights from my own writing journey to hopefully spark an idea or inspiration for the books they have underway. 

This episode was on bringing scenes to life for the reader.



If you have any thoughts on this or advice to share, or a topic you'd like me to address, leave it in the comments below. If you have a reference book, website, podcast you would recommend, let me know and I will highlight it. If you're an author and would like to be featured on The Author Journey, email me at anne@ocpublishing.ca. 

I hope you drop by, catch a few of our Author Journey interviews and subscribe to our channel while you're there - youtube.com/ocpublishing
