What's All The Fuss About?
How To Use Believable Conflict To Write A Great Book!
Given By Authors: Tina Gabrielle & Phyllis Nugent

She did what? He didn't tell her that? Without believable conflict, chances are a reader won't finish the book and an editor won't buy it. Learn what makes great conflict and how it can help hook your reader from beginning and keep the reader turning the page. This workshop will focus on the importance of internal and external conflict and how both can strengthen plot and pacing. We will also cover "conflict pitfalls" and how to use conflict to get past the dreaded sagging middle.
