That ingredient is subtext, and it has the capability of drawing readers more deeply into the text, to a place at which they become involved with the writer in creating the story&#8217;s meaning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this program, Amarillo writer and editor Jennifer Archer\nwill discuss: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The two different types of subtext. <\/li><li>The purpose(s) of subtext for plot, and the\npurpose(s) of subtext for characterization. <\/li><li>How to create subtext in your stories.<\/li><li>How subtext makes readers co-creators<\/li><li>Why readers love subtext (even if they don&#8217;t\nknow it).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An eclectic writer of women&#8217;s fiction, young adult fiction, and non-fiction, Jennifer was a finalist twice for Romance Writers of America&#8217;s <em>Golden Heart<\/em> <em>Award<\/em> and was a finalist for that same organization&#8217;s <em>Rita Award<\/em>.
