Why do people love page-turners? In this workshop, we will explore how to write a cliff-hanger and how to know when to wrap up a scene. We’ll also discuss the importance of complex characters and how to lop off those wonderful setting descriptions and cling to the action. We will discover as writers how to write our own page-turners.
