Plotting and Suspense Writing Course with JP Pomare

Many writers have brilliant story ideas but don’t know where to begin. In this online workshop with bestselling author JP Pomare, you’ll learn different approaches to building a story and crafting narrative tension in fiction.

This course is constructed in a way to help develop early novel ideas by finding and pursuing potential narrative avenues, and building a convincing story world replete with strong characters and a setting that draws readers in. We will look closely at the individual elements of fiction with a focus on how these interact with plot, and establish techniques for building and maintaining tension throughout an entire novel.

You’ll undertake a variety of exercises to help you move from the initial big idea toward a developed draft full of twists that keep readers turning the pages.

This course involves submitting short writing exercises, and giving and receiving peer feedback. Participants will receive limited tutor feedback.
