Short and Sharp: building tension and suspense in short fiction
August 13 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
Writing short fiction is all about making the most of a limited word count.
You have to maintain control over your characters and keep a tight focus on the story’s central conflict or idea.
Whether you write crime or thrillers, horror or sci-fi, comedy or literary fiction, ratcheting up the tension and building a suspenseful atmosphere are great ways to keep your readers invested.
This workshop, run by Dr Aksel Dadswell, will help you sharpen your short fiction to a deliciously fine edge.
This workshop is for adults.
Please Note: Bookings open 4 July 2026.
