Souped-Up Suspense!

If you’re writing/revising a mystery, thriller, horror, or suspense novel, or if you’re simply looking to add more page-turning suspense to your manuscript, this do-it-on-your-own-time course is for you. The lessons (in both written and audio format) offer practical tools and writing exercises, as well as examples from novels such as Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon, White Smoke by Tiffany D. Jackson, and many, many more. 

The lessons are as follows:

  • Lesson 1: Shady Characters: How to use characterization and narration to increase suspense.
  • Lesson 2: Twisty Plots: How to create plots that keep the pages turning and the readers guessing.
  • Lesson 3: Setting the Mood: How to use setting, word choice, and description to up the suspense.
  • Lesson 4: Inside Your Main Character’s Mind & Body: How to use your character’s physical and mental reactions to increase suspense.
