From Flat to Fabulous: Reviving Characters with Dynamic Body Language with Stacy Juba

Are you tired of characters who always nod, sigh, and shrug?

This hands-on workshop will show you how to use physical action to express emotion, heighten tension, and layer in subtext—without overexplaining or cluttering the page.

When every character reacts the same way, it dilutes your voice and your scenes lose impact. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Break the pattern with practical tools that help you write clearer, deeper, more human character reactions.

Through easy-to-follow slides and published novel excerpts, you’ll see how body language, posture, and micro-gestures can bring your scenes to life.

You’ll leave with a printable recap, a sharper eye, and concrete techniques to turn flat reactions into dynamic moments. Whether you’re drafting or revising, this workshop will help you write characters who feel real.
