Writing Suspense: Writing Workshop

In the best suspense novels, we’re drawn in by taut pacing, complex characters, and twisty plots. This kind of story makes for an easy read but it’s very challenging to construct! In this two-hour workshop, you’ll learn the ins and outs of creating a compelling suspense story, from crafting an irresistible hook to generating page-turning tension, and, of course, creating the perfect plot twist.

Join Jaime deBlanc, author of After Image, for a workshop that includes an engaging lecture, class discussion, and writing exercises. You’ll leave class with a better understanding of what makes a story thrilling and tense as well as practical tools for crafting your own successful suspense story.
