This workshop will give you the inside scoop<\/strong> on what gives a novel best-selling potential. You\u2019ll learn how to get readers emotionally involved in your story, how to raise tension, control your pacing and keep your readers turning the pages. But you won’t just hear about some of the best secrets of the trade; you’ll learn how to apply them to give your own writing a sharp new edge.<\/p>\n

Workshop leader Brian Henry<\/strong> has been a book editor and creative writing teacher for more than 25 years. He has helped many of his students get published, including guest speaker Kelley Armstrong…<\/p>\n

Kelley Armstrong<\/strong> lives in Aylmer, south of London, Ontario,\u00a0with her husband and three children. She used to program computers and attend Brian Henry workshops. Now she writes international bestsellers. Kelley has hit the New York Time\u2019s bestseller list with both her supernatural thrillers for adults and her urban fantasy for teens.<\/p>\n

Kelley’s principal publishers are Random House Canada, Bantam U.S., and\u00a0Warner in Britain. To date, she’s published two dozen books, most recently Tales of the Otherworld<\/a> (all proceeds for which go to Literacy Canada) and Waking the Witch<\/a>.\u00a0 By June, she’ll\u00a0have two more out: Counterfeit Magic<\/a> and The Gathering<\/a>.<\/p>\n
