I’ll be leading a session on Raising the Stakes at the Manor Mill Writers Retreat. You can sign up for the whole weekend or individual days. My session will be on Saturday 14 November at 2:30 pm. The schedule for sessions is on the retreat website.
To keep your readers turning pages, give them a story question with high stakes. In this session, we will look at ways to make your story more engaging by increasing the risks and rewards for your protagonist.
