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 to Moncton. 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 Time’s bestseller list with both her supernatural thrillers for
