WRITING WORKSHOP — THE MAGIC OF METAPHOR IN PROSE
Lighthouse Writers Workshop’s Lit Fest

Many of us aspire to elevate our prose to the level of poetry. But how do we achieve that while also honoring that figurative language in many ways operates differently in prose? In this seminar, we’ll tackle that question by taking a deep dive into metaphor. Through examples and practice, we’ll learn to craft metaphors that not only are striking, but also serve our narratives, furthering character, setting, and plot. But even as we recast metaphor as workhorse rather than ornament, we’ll still swoon over these well-wrought constructions, things of beauty in themselves.
