A 2-Week Online Fiction Workshop
2 Saturdays, October 26 & November 2, 9 AM - 12 PM
Tension isn’t only an essential ingredient in suspense and thrillers. Tension, in varying degrees, is what keeps readers of all genres engaged in our writing. In this two-session workshop, we will explore the what, the how, the why around tension across the genres, as well as investigate and apply numerous techniques for infusing our scenes and stories with it. When does a scene need more? When is it okay to let off a little? Roll up your sleeves for an interactive workshop designed to help you gain control over your storytelling skills. Appropriate for writers of picture book, middle grade, young adult, and adult fiction.
