Episode 321: Advanced Style, Part 1

This week's podcast moves beyond sentence openers and dress-ups. Andrew and Julie discuss the advanced style techniques. Providing examples, Andrew goes through quite a few of them. To name some, he discusses dual -ly adverbs, alliteration, parallelism, metaphor, and more! Learn how the goal with these techniques is not to make better writing right now but to help form better writers.
