SUMMARY:Muskoka Authors Association Presents a Workshop on Writing Page-Turning Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Muskoka Authors Association Presents a Workshop on Writing Page-Turning Fiction with Mystery Author\, Kelley Armstrong \nLearn how to keep readers saying\, “Just one more chapter…” \nWhat makes a novel impossible to put down? How do some stories keep us reading long after we should have gone to bed? \nThe Muskoka Authors Association is excited to welcome acclaimed author Kelley Armstrong for “Page-Turning Fiction\,” an engaging workshop on Saturday\, September 19\, designed to help writers create stories that grab readers’ attention and keep them turning the pages. \nGenre fiction is\, at its heart\, about entertaining and engaging the reader. In this hands-on workshop\, Armstrong will share strategies for maximizing reader engagement from the earliest planning stages through to the final manuscript. \nParticipants will explore ways to build momentum into a story\, create the kind of narrative drive that keeps readers invested\, and recognize opportunities to increase the pace when a completed manuscript begins to drag. Armstrong will offer practical tips and tricks writers can take back to their own work\, whether they are outlining a new novel or trying to breathe fresh energy into a manuscript already underway. \nAnd who better to lead a workshop on page-turning fiction than an author who has created some of Canada’s most popular mystery and fantasy series? \nArmstrong is the author of fifty-eight adult books including the Rip Through Time and Haven’s Rock mystery series. Her impressive body of work also includes the Otherworld urban fantasy series\, Rockton mystery series\, Stitch in Time time-travel series\, Cainsville gothic mystery series\, the Nadia Stafford mystery trilogy\, the Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising teen paranormal series\, the Age of Legends teen fantasy series and the Royal Guide to Monster Slaying middle-grade fantasy series. \nWith such a wealth of experience writing across genres and for readers of all ages\, Armstrong brings a unique understanding of what makes readers care about a story—and what makes them desperate to find out what happens next. \nWhether you’re plotting your first novel\, revising a work in progress or looking for ways to give your finished manuscript more momentum\, this workshop promises practical insights you can put to work immediately. \nCome ready to look at your writing from the reader’s perspective—and learn how to make it harder for them to put your book down.
