This workshop will give you the inside scoop on what gives a novel
best-selling potential. You’ll learn how to get readers emotionally involved in
your story, how to raise tension, control your pacing and keep your readers
turning the pages. But you won't just hear about some of the best secrets of the
trade; you'll learn how to apply them to give your own writing a sharp new
edge.
Workshop leader Brian Henry has
been a book editor and creative writing teacher for more than 25 years. He
publishes Quick Brown Fox, Canada’s most popular blog for writers,
teaches creative writing at Ryerson University and has led workshops everywhere
from Boston to Buffalo and from Sarnia, Ontario, to Saint John, New
Brunswick. He has helped many of his students get published, including
guest speaker Kelley Armstrong...
Kelley
Armstrong lives in Aylmer, south of London, Ontario, with her husband and three
children. She used to program computers and attend Brian Henry workshops. Now
she writes international bestsellers. Kelley has hit the New York Times
bestseller list with both her supernatural thrillers for adults and her urban
fantasy for teens.
Kelley's
principal publishers are Random House in Canada, St. Martins and HarperCollins
in the U.S. and Doubleday and Little Brown in Britain. To date, she's published
more than 32 books, most recently Portents, gothic tales for
adults, Aftermath, a mystery-thriller
for young adults, and coming in February, Watcher in the
Woods, a thriller for adults.
Bitten, a TV series based on
Kelley’s first 13 novels, has been broadcasting since January 2014.
