We’ve all heard about “show, don’t tell” but how, exactly, does a writer show the most evocative details possible? Let's lean into the heat, the ache, the sensory overload. In this panel, Jennifer Barone, Sandra Jackson-Opoku, and Tomas Moniz will show you how to write about our most unspoken longings (the sensual, the emotional, and the taboo) and they're not afraid to go there! Moderated by Tijanna Eaton.
