Description:
Welcome to the next workshop in Suspense Club: Brisbane Edition—a regular gathering where we explore the 10 Rules of Suspense, dig into story ideas, troubleshoot plot holes, and sharpen your writing tools.
This time, we’re diving into Rule #3: Grab Them by the Collar and Never Let Them Go. Discover how to write irresistible openings and build relentless narrative momentum—how to grip your reader from the very first sentence and never let go.
We’ll break down killer opening lines, rapid tension-building techniques, and how the Hero’s Journey supports this rule. You’ll leave with stronger pages, clearer direction, and feedback that makes a real difference.
What to bring:
Your story idea, a chapter-in-progress, or just your passion. Newcomers, dreamers, and deadline-dodgers welcome.
Note:
This is our final workshop of 2025—come celebrate the progress we’ve made and be part of shaping what’s coming next.
