Nonverbal cues—body language—account for more than 90% of our communication. It is the bridge between thought, emotion, and action. Including body language in your writing gives your characters more depth and provides a relatable, interactive experience for your readers.
In this workshop, you’ll learn to become a stronger writer by:
- understanding the functions of body language
- using body language to strengthen dialogue, deepen characterization, and connect the internal and external
- learning why it’s a key part of interiority
- studying examples of body language on the page

Instructor
Jeni Chappelle is an independent editor and writing instructor. She has helped more than two hundred books into the world with major publishers, small presses, and indie authors, including bestselling and award-winning authors. A late-diagnosed AuDHD eldest daughter/former gifted kid, Jeni has been called a word wizard and a book doula but considers herself a hobbit (minus the hairy feet) and lives in NC with her family and way too many pets: two dogs, seven cats, and an aquatic turtle.
