Real Writers Circle: Thrillers
How do you write a compelling thriller that grabs your reader and keeps them on tenterhooks until the final page? Or maybe, your story needs some elements of suspense and intrigue that you can't quite identify or plot. Helping us discern what makes a reader shiver with anticipation/dread is SJ Watson, a master of the psychological thriller and author of three novels, including his smash hit debut Before I Go to Sleep, which has sold more than 6 million copies and been published in more than 40 languages.
Agenda:
Connect, Learn, Share
1. Connecting: We believe that writers who know each other learn more. In this part of the evening, we actively facilitate a conversation between attendees. (This bit can be loud – in a good way.)
2. Hot Seat: With a speaker or a panel, we explore a topic/theme and promote sharing of expertise and knowledge among the group.
3. Reading: Up to two members share their work aloud. Listening to each other’s writing and offering feedback (if requested) informs our craft.
Meeting monthly, Real Writers Circle is a dedicated collective of writers who give and receive support, insights and advice as we improve our writing craft – for publication or otherwise. Circle members are un/published authors across any genre or form. The group is open to anyone who is intensional about their writing and wants to learn how to hone their craft.
