Narrative Tension: How to keep readers engrossed in your story

If you feel like something is missing in your story and you’re not sure how to rework it into a compelling narrative, then this workshop is

for you.

You will learn what narrative tension is and why the

focus on turning points, conflict and drama can

sometimes lead to a flat story.

Writing techniques will be demonstrated, including

how to allow the tension to emerge from the

characters and their situations, so you can avoid

both contrived plots and imposing hooks and twists

that just don’t fit into the story.

This workshop is presented by Natasha Lester, the

bestselling, multi-award winning author of eight

historical and two literary novels.

This session is for adults.

Places are limited and bookings are essential.
