SUMMARY:Make Your Suspense Keep Readers on the Edge of Their Chairs 2-week Intensive workshop- Mary Marvella
DESCRIPTION:Writing Suspense to Keep Your Readers on the Edge of Their Seats. \n(This applies to everything we write.) \nHave you ever picked up a book\, planning to read a chapter? Could you stop at one chapter? I have stayed up all night more than once because the writers had me in their clutches! \nWe writers often tell way too much when we write\, so we interrupt the action and allow readers to walk away for a while. Let’s look at editing away the stuff that doesn’t involve our readers to create that final draft readers can’t put down! \nInstructor Bio: \nMary Marvella has been a storyteller for as long as she can remember. The arrival of the book mobile was as exciting as hearing the music of the ice cream truck. As a child of the South\, she inherited the storytelling gene from her parents and her grandmamas. \nRetired from teaching classic works of the masters\, Mary plays let’s pretend with her characters. She has published 10 novels\, 1 book on editing\, and a collection of Christmas stories. \nMary tutors\, and coaches writers when she isn’t working on projects as a freelance editor.  She has always been a grammar geek who loved soaking up new knowledge and reading everything\, including labels on cereal boxes. \nGeorgia-raised\, she writes stories with a Southern flair. \nMary has taught workshops for Georgia Romance Writers\, Northeast Metro Atlanta Christian Writers\, Savvy Authors\, Hearts through History (RWA) and FF&P (RWA)\, and The Southern Pen Indie Conference. Mary loves teaching so much she published a book called Weeding of Your Manuscript: What Editors Wish You Knew
