Anatomy of a Page-Turner
What makes a reader stay up past their bedtime, sneak a book into the break room, or press it into every friend's hands? It's not one trick—it's a combination of craft choices working together.
In this workshop, I use Saint to break that combination down into three categories: the hook (what pulls a reader in), the line (what keeps them moving), & the carrot (what makes the payoff worth it).
You'll walk away with concrete tools covering opening chapters & character connection, pacing & chapter/paragraph rhythm, where to spend page time (and where not to), chapter endings that make readers groan & keep going anyway, and how to maintain tension and deliver satisfying surprises without giving away too much too soon.
This isn't a formula. There isn't one! It's a framework for finding your recipe, whatever kind of writer you are. Whether you're charting your way through a first draft or knee-deep in revisions, this workshop will give you a new lens for looking at your own pages.
