There really is a secret to writing a book that young readers can't put down.
It's called Narrative Tension and, on July 20th, a true master of this technique will teach you exactly how to put it to work in every manuscript you write.
Here's a rejection letter no editor has ever written:
That's because of this simple truth:
Ask editors for their ideal manuscript submission, and you'll hear one thing again and again:
"I'm looking for a real page-turner. A book you simply can't put down."
Whether it's a picture book or a novel, the ability to write stories that engross readers and keep them glued to the page is absolutely indispensable.
But so few writers actually have that ability. That's because they don't know about the one technique that is designed specifically to create page-turning books:
Narrative Tension is the reason readers become engaged, relate to the protagonist, and wonder what will happen next.
Readers look for it, or they'll put the book down. Editors demand it in every manuscript they accept — even nonfiction!
With more than 275 published fiction & nonfiction books to her credit — across multiple children's book categories —Lola M. Schaefer knows more about creating Narrative Tension than any writer we've ever met.
And on July 20th, for the first time, she reveals exactly how she creates it, sustains it and perfects it in every story she writes.
And how you can do the exact same thing.
We invite you to join us for:
