Page-Turning Tension - How to Keep Readers in Suspense with Shayla Raquel 

Guest Speaker: Shayla Raquel

An expert editor, best-selling author, and book marketer, Shayla Raquel works one-on-one with writers every day. A lifelong lover of books, she has been in the publishing industry for ten years and specializes in self-publishing.

Her award-winning blog teaches new and established authors how to write, publish, and market their books.

She is the author of the Pre-Publishing Checklist, “The Rotting” (in Shivers in the Night), The Suicide Tree, #1 bestseller The 10 Commandments of Author Branding, and her book of poetry, All the Things I Should’ve Told You. In her not-so-free time, she acts as organizer for the Yukon Writers’ Society, studies all things true crime, and obsesses over squirrels. She lives in Oklahoma with her dogs, Chanel, Wednesday, and Baker.


Description of talk:

Story starting to lag? Keep readers glued to your book with tension-building tips such as heightening the stakes, constructing plot twists, and pushing the boundaries in dialogue.
