Second Person: You and Your Reader
2024 People's Literary Festival
We can't expect a captive audience: our readers may want more than lists of actions and adjectives, descriptions of what we see, think, and imagine. Readers may wish to have a role, to be more involved. In this generative workshop, we will experiment with the word "you," with person, voice, and reference to see what new possibilities appear for reader engagement. All levels and abilities welcome.
