Crafting Conflict & Raising the Stakes

Welcome to our free monthly virtual workshop series on writing - Beyond the Blank Page.

This dynamic series is meticulously crafted for writers at all stages of their creative journey, offering a dedicated space for inspiration, professional guidance, and the cultivation of connections within a vibrant community of wordsmiths.


📍 Topic: Crafting Conflict & Raising the Stakes


What to Expect in this Workshop:

Conflict is the heartbeat of any great story—it fuels tension, shapes character growth, and keeps readers invested. But how do you craft compelling conflict that feels organic rather than forced? How do you raise the stakes in a way that keeps your audience on the edge of their seat?

In this workshop, we’ll explore how to create conflict that is not only gripping but also deeply tied to your characters and themes. Through professional insights and interactive discussions, we’ll dive into:

📍 Understanding the Different Types of Conflict – Internal vs. external conflict and how to balance both effectively.
📍 Raising the Stakes Without Overcomplicating the Story – Learn how to escalate tension in a way that feels natural and impactful.
📍 Crafting Meaningful Obstacles – Ensure challenges push your characters to grow and evolve.
📍 Keeping Readers Hooked – Build suspense and uncertainty to drive the narrative forward.

🎁 Exclusive Offer for Attendees

As a special thank you for attending, all participants will receive a free 1,000 word critique on a desired scene from your manuscript evaluating conflict. Additionally, you'll enjoy a discount towards a First 50 Pages Critique. This is a unique opportunity to get professional feedback and take your writing to the next level!
