This webinar will explore the elements that give stories that edge, and the power to tug at the reader's heartstrings, so that they stay with the reader long after they've closed the book. It will offer tips and practical advice on how to write stories with heart as we use mentor texts and pinpoint the right ingredients of a heartfelt story.
