Some stories you can’t put down. Others you forget before you finish them. What’s the difference? In this energizing, interactive class, author and storyteller Pam Kumpe pulls back the curtain on the deep craft secrets that make readers stay up until 2 am, finish books in a single sitting, and close a story feeling like something inside them has shifted.
This isn’t your typical writing workshop. We’re going beyond plot and character into the techniques that happen beneath the surface of a story and grip a reader without them ever knowing why.
You’ll discover:
• Why the quiet scenes are often more powerful than the dramatic ones
• How to make readers feel smarter, more seen, and completely unable to stop turning pages
• The surprising places where the best story ideas actually come from
• What every unforgettable story has at its heart—and how to put it in yours
