With today's short attention spans and the millions of available books, your story has to hook the reader and keep them hooked. Pacing is one of the best ways to do this. Author and editor Jodi Renner has some great tips on pacing.
Today's stories need to keep moving along at a brisk pace. Tonight, we'll discuss several ways to keep the story from bogging down and losing the reader.
We'll take any other questions you may have in the second hour. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We look forward to chatting with you!
