“How to Build Your Novel” with guest Kelley Armstrong

“How to Build Your Novel”

With New York Times #1 bestselling author Kelley Armstrong

Sunday, July 20, 2025
1:15 – 5:00 p.m. Toronto time
Offered online and accessible wherever there's Internet

This workshop will show you how writers actually plot out a novel. Guest speaker Kelley Armstrong and I will explore both the process of creating a novel-length story and what you actually need to give your novel the structure it requires to hold your readers' attention. Kelley will also be sharing her story of her writing career so far. Most important, we’re here to answer all your questions. ~Brian

Guest speaker Kelley Armstrong lives in Aylmer, south of London, Ontario, with her husband and three children and spends her summers in the Yukon. 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.

To date, she's published more than 60 books, most recently, I’ll Be Waiting (from Macmillan, available here), Schemes and Scandals (Subterranean Press, here), The Boy Who Cried Bear (St. Martin’s, here), and Finding Mr. Write, (Grand Central Publishing, here). And coming in February, Cold as Hell (St. Martin’s, here). By the time we get to July, she’ll have more books out, so keep tuned!

Bitten, a TV series based on Kelley’s first 13 novels, was on the air Jan 2014 through April 2016.
