Are you writing a book that includes a touch of the unexpected? Do you want to immerse your reader in a world that is familiar, yet unknown?
Join best-selling author C.S. Green for an evening of expert tuition and exercises on writing the impossible into your story.
Whether you’re writing a gothic ghost story or a crime thriller with a supernatural twist, Caroline will show you how to use unexpected elements to ramp up the tension and raise the stakes of your story.
Throughout the course of the evening, you will learn more about creating twists and red herrings, as well as balancing the friction between the known and the unknown in fiction. With world building and the power of description, you can suspend your reader’s disbelief and push the boundaries of the world you’ve created.
The remaining 20 minutes will be reserved for a Q&A. Copies of Caroline’s books will be available to purchase through our independent bookshop partner.
