There are over 285 rhetorical devices. That’s a lot of tools for a writer’s toolkit! This workshop will take participants beyond simile, metaphor, and personification into dozens of devices and organizational tools, including why and when they're used.
This workshop will distill the gems from twenty years of teaching rhetoric into practical, applicable guidance that writers of all skill levels can use. You’ll leave ready to apply new rhetorical models and devices to your own topics and pieces. Let’s organize our toolkits and fill them with more tools ready and waiting for our use!
This event is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance. This project is generously funded by the Houston Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and Mid-America Arts Alliance.
