Page Turners: The Secret to Keeping Readers Hooked

About the Event

In this three-part fiction series, writers will explore what makes a story impossible to put down. From building tension to crafting mystery, each workshop will dive into the art of keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Participants will learn how to reveal (and withhold) information for maximum impact, experiment with pacing and tone, and discover how to sustain suspense in any genre. Whether your story is eerie, romantic, or dramatic, you’ll leave with new tools to make every scene pulse with momentum.

Building Tension: Tension isn’t just for horror, it’s the heartbeat that keeps any story alive. In this session, we’ll explore how tension can show up through emotion, description, or plot, and experiment with ways to build that pulse in our own writing so readers can’t look away.
