JULY 9 & 16, 2026 – Deluxe Two-Parter - THE STORY BENEATH THE STORY: SUBTEXT, THEME, AND POWER DYNAMICS AT WORK with Janice Hardy

$69.00

What’s unsaid is often more compelling than what’s stated clearly, and the most gripping stories come from what the reader feels, not sees. Those moments of insight, quiet realizations, and understanding about what isn’t on the page. In this workshop, you’ll discover how to use dialogue and silence to expose hidden motives, how shifting power in a scene creates unspoken tension, and how theme quietly connects every choice your characters make. You’ll explore way to shape the story beneath your story and how to weave emotional tension, deepen meaning, and reveal character truths without ever spelling them out.
