Personal Development

In Vanessa Grant's Powerful Pacing for Storytellers, you'll discover how to build tension, emphasize important events, and control your story's pacing while increasing the reader's engagement.

You'll explore story pacing with its three different timing clocks and a formula that can help you control the relationship between time, speed, viewpoint depth, and emotional intensity.

Then you'll go on to look at the way a reader's perception of time fluctuates with the level of excitement, and we'll study the techniques you can use to control pacing and your reader's level of excitement.

And finally, you'll study the effect that different writing modes have on pacing, and how you can control pacing and speed using these modes.

Vanessa Grant is the author of 32 published romance novels with over 10 million copies of her books sold. She has been translated into 15 languages and has presented writers' workshops in Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand.
