ADVANCED CLIFFHANGER... May and June 2025.

This class combines depth, information flow, rule of three, character, and plotting to help you make your cliffhangers come alive and keep your readers reading through your entire novel. A critical workshop that not only details out the six or seven main types of cliffhangers, but how to do them so the reader has no idea you are not letting them go.

This workshop starts on Tuesday, May 12th, 2026 and runs for nine weeks with assignments due each week on Sunday evening.
