The best way to get and keep readers is crafting a story
they’re compelled to read. If you’ve ever stayed up all night to read a book,
you know the feeling. In this workshop, we’ll look at tips and tricks
for creating stories readers can’t put down. If you’re a writer who wants
to grab and keep readers, don’t miss this workshop.
