Improving Writing Through a Sentence-Composing Approach

Improving Writing Through a Sentence-Composing Approach

Brought to you by Odyssey

March 1, 2022 - March 29, 2022 (5 Sessions)
Tuesdays, 6:30 - 8:00 PM ET

An alternative to a writing workshop where participants critique each other’s writing, this course is a practicum focusing on sentence-level improvement. Using a method the co-instructors developed called “the sentence-composing approach,” participants practice sentence strategies used by authors ranging from J. R. R. Tolkien to J. K. Rowling. In building better sentences, participants learn to do what successful authors do, and will leave each session with sentence-building tools applicable to almost any kind of writing--academic, business, literary, or personal.

Supplemental Materials - All materials are created by the Killgallons, provided during each session, then emailed to participants to use and keep.
