About this Talk
Writers are repeatedly advised to “raise the stakes.” Stakes are often defined as what the character has to lose.

In this class, you will learn a new take on stakes that will not only help you escalate your story, but will also allow you to craft powerful hooks, increase tension, and propel readers to turn pages. Come learn my approach—what do you have to lose?
