Description
($90 for Conference participants)You know it when you feel it. Suspense is what makes it impossible to put the book down and turn off the light. Whether you’re writing a novel that’s primarily a mystery, a thriller, or suspense, suspense is key. It’s that essential ingredient that turns a work of fiction into a “page turner.” In this workshop we’ll talk about what makes suspense work. We’ll dissect the arc of suspense within a scene and within a novel. We’ll go through the variety of tools a writer can use to create suspense and to modulate it. Finally, we’ll discuss how to manage suspense in a book-length work. There will be plenty of analytical and writing exercises.
