Writing Workshop: Pacing and Tension

Make your fiction un-put-down-able.

Getting the pacing right is a crucial element in writing a highly readable story. We’ll look at how scenes play different roles in speeding up the pace of a story, increasing the tension, and in giving the reader some ‘breathing space’. You will have a chance to try out creative exercises which will help you vary the pace and create tension in your writing.

Improve your writing skills and get started on your writing project.
We’ll use exercises, creative writing prompts, examples and facilitated group discussion to improve our writing skills, in a programme designed to inspire and support new writers.
