What makes a good page turner? What keeps someone reading late at night when they really should be asleep? This half-day workshop will investigate the role of character, conflict and structure in creating a novel that your readers can't put down.
There will be exercises and constructive, individual feedback.
Workshop attendees are asked to send a one- or two-paragraph summary of their novel/work in progress/idea to Lian one week before the workshop. An email address will be provided upon registration.
