What makes a reader want to turn the pages all the way to the end of the book?Join women’s fiction author Pamela Cook as she uncovers the secrets to page-turning fiction. In this four-hour workshop we’ll examine:
- how to create hooks in your story opening
- structuring your plot for maximum impact
- creating tension through conflict
