How to Weld Dread: Hanging and Carrying a Dark Mood From Start to Finish

One way to capture the attention of readers and keep them engaged in a story is to build a sense of dread. In this presentation, Donyae Coles will go over what "dread" is in the sense of story and how to pull it into a story beyond just fear of the "bad guy." Although a horror author, Coles will speak to how dread can be used in other genres of fiction as well to create compelling stories readers love. This is an OnDemand webinar.
