The Art of Emotion in Fiction with Alec Niedenthal

Sunday, August 16, 2026

Exploring essential elements of the art of fiction, like character, voice, and prose style, we’ll develop the building blocks of a theory and practice of how to move one’s readers. We’ll bring our own work to the table to figure out how the emotions therein can be made more real—part of the reader’s own inner life.
