Recently, I spoke at the Columbus Writer’s Conference hosted by Columbus State in May. Be sure to put this free conference, with snacks provided (you won’t get that deal anywhere else!) into your writing calendar for next year. That day, I taught a session on maintaining narrative suspense in the mystery novel. Here are some of the highlights from that presentation.
Again, you are listening to Word Carver, a show based Columbus, Ohio on WGRN 94.1fm, LP, the green renaissance. I’m Cynthia Rosi your host, a writer for life. In addition to writing and producing Word Carver, I teach writing at Capital University and Columbus State.
Please visit Word Carver.com for links to the books featured on the show and for Word Carver podcasts. Email me if you are a local writer with a forthcoming book of poetry, essays, or short stories, and I will be happy to interview you or review your book on my show. For the address, visit word carver.com and click on the submissions tab.
If you are in Columbus but live in a place where 94.1 is faint or scratchy, you won’t miss a show if you hop over to WGRN.org and listen to it streaming. Tune in on Saturdays at 12.30pm and stay in touch! I welcome your comments at my website.
And now, a discussion on maintaining narrative suspense in the mystery novel, from the Columbus Writers Conference hosted by Columbus State Community College.
