ABOUT THIS SESSION

Seeing is often the key to writing with clarity and restraint. Michael Havelin explains how photography can help writers notice telling details, understand space and setting, and gather authentic visual reference. This session encourages writers to balance vivid imagery with narrative flow and offers insight into how observation and critique groups can sharpen craft without overloading the page.
