ABOUT THIS EVENT

Are you writing a thriller, a suspense story, or a horror project? If you’re not sure—or if you think it doesn’t matter—you could be setting yourself up for rejection before you even begin.
In this candid, fast-paced, and highly practical online event, you’ll learn exactly how these three powerful genres differ, what readers and audiences expect from each, and why choosing the right one is critical from the start.

Topics Include:

Are You Creating a Thriller, Suspense, or Horror Project?
Why knowing your genre early can make or break your script, book, or film.
The Simple, Specific & Important Differences Between These Genres
Understand structure, pacing, tone, and emotional payoff—and how getting it wrong alienates readers, viewers, and critics.
Key Elements That Define Each Genre
With examples from iconic films and books that got it right (and a few that didn’t).
How to Quickly, Painlessly, and Effectively Plot Your Project
Stop getting stuck halfway through your outline. Learn how to quickly generate frameworks for your books, screenplays, and original films based on your characters and your desired locations that make everything easier—and more likely to sell.
Genre Mixing: Why It’s Tempting… and Dangerous
The risks of combining thriller with horror, suspense with mystery, or anything with sci-fi—and how to pull it off only when it serves your story.
What Happens If You Miss Your Mark
Why agents pass, why readers stop reading, and why audiences feel betrayed—plus how to fix a misaligned project.
Tips for Writers & Screenwriters
Learn how your first draft for a book or screenplay can come together in 40-80 hours rather than 40-80 days.
Tips for Producers
Learn what works best for indie producers and why, when name talent is key and when it is an expense you can profitably skip. Learn about some profitable projects that make millions from microbudget films specifically because they got the genre, script, and production absolutely right.
Whether you're writing your first screenplay, producing your third horror feature, or outlining a psychological thriller novel, this event will give you tools and insights you can use immediately to improve your work.
