THE HIGH TENSION WORKSHOP

A three-and-a-half day course devoted to the creation of breathtaking, page-turning fiction!

This brand new workshop with Donald Maass explores THE key ingredient for writing success: TENSION ON EVERY PAGE. Through structured exercises, discussion, and dedicated work on your manuscript-in-progress, you’ll learn how to make your novel irresistible—to agents, editors, and readers.

May 1-4: Austin, TX

"By rewriting an old reject using Don’s mantra of tension on every page, I had a publishing contract within six months. I love my agent, but she didn’t teach me the final bit of craft that pushed me over. Donald Maass did." — Jack Getze, author of BIG NUMBERS and BIG MONEY
