Ontario Writers Network: Upcoming Events in Kingston, Ontario

?How to Write a Bestseller" Saturday, April 28
1:00 - 4:30 p.m.
Lions Club, 935 Sydenham Road, Kingston. (Map here.)

This workshop will give you the inside scoop on what gives a novel best-selling potential. You?ll learn how to get readers emotionally involved in your story, how to raise tension, control your pacing and keep your readers turning the pages. But you won't just hear about some of the best secrets of the trade; you'll learn how to apply them to give your own writing a sharp new edge.

Workshop leader Brian Henry has been a book editor and creative writing teacher for more than 25 years. But his proudest boast is that he has helped many of his students get published; some - such as Kelley Armstrong - have even landed on the New York Times bestseller's list.

Fee: $32.74 + 13% hst = $37 paid in advance to?
