Description

We’ve loved doing our close reading series throughout 2024, and The Fifth Season has been no different. Today, we’re reflecting on what we learned in our episodes focusing on N.K. Jemisin’s incredible work. We reflect on POV as structure, parallelism, and finding the beating heart of your manuscript.  

Thing of the Week: I Saw the TV Glow 

Homework: Reverse engineer an outline for your work in progress. Then, try to add one parallel.
