Rayanne Haines

We experience the world around us through our senses. They are how we navigate place, identify danger, seek stimulation, and form the memories through which our identities take shape. Translating rich sensory experience onto the page enables writers to inhabit their characters and stories in ways that offer three dimensional, truthful experiences for the readers. And isn’t that what we strive for as authors, even in fiction? To make our worlds come to life? In this workshop with Writer in Residence Rayanne Haines, we explore writing taste, sight, smell, touch and sound to create descriptions that will stay with your reader and improve your writing skills.
