Event Description

Weaving Romance Around Suspense shows writers how to create compelling, page-turning stories without relying on constant violence. In this interactive workshop, author Sylvia Hubbard introduces the basics of fiction writing, explores how suspense techniques and romance story beats work together, and breaks down the ingredients of effective plot twists. You’ll learn how tension, emotion, and character choices can carry a story all the way to a satisfying happily-ever-after—or happily-for-now. This session is perfect for aspiring writers, readers, and anyone curious about how gripping stories are crafted.

This event includes a signing with books for sale.

This event is for Teens and Adults.
