"Muscle Up the Guts of Your Story: Building the Midsection of Your Novel with Critical Moments," with Susan Wingate

Does your story have six-pack abs? Not just a great start and a brilliant ending, but staying power all the way through? Let Susan show you how to create a strong middle of a novel — the thing that keeps readers reading. Learn to create conflict and to keep it building toward your novel's final crisis.

Prize-winning novelist, poet and playwright Susan Wingate teaches writing in many venues, including her local community college, writing conferences, and her own studio. She publishes a monthly online newsletter, Sincerely, Susan, and is a co-founder of the vibrant San Juan Island Creative Women's Group.

Reviewers describe Susan's latest release, Bobby's Diner, as "heart-warming...funny," and "one of those rare books you won't want to put down." In Bobby's Diner, an ex-wife and the woman who stole her husband must work together on a daily basis or lose the diner—and both are too stubborn to give up. Susan's Of the Law is called by reviewers "writing of the finest quality...just amazing detail and sense of personality...Her literary skills are masterful and her command of the human psyche is remarkable."
