Secrets & Lies: Writing Mystery and Suspense

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

In this workshop we will focus on how elements of mystery and suspense are used to structure storytelling in genres that promise these effects and in any fiction that draws interest from what is forbidden, or shameful, or perhaps joyfully concealed. Through examples and story-developing exercises, you’ll explore how point of view, time structure, use of place, and combinations of characters provide opportunities for deception, misunderstanding, discovery, surprise, misery, and/or laughter.
