- **Event Description**: This DeathWrites Hybrid Workshop focuses on generating jeopardy in commercial fiction. Online attendees welcome.About this EventThis workshop looks at how, in commercial fiction, we have to generate jeopardy and how characters who are dying can produce the 'perfect storm' of stake. Secrets are ideal to work up this tension and this workshop looks at the different types of secrets characters have and the stake and resolution these can construct. Commercial fiction, as a genre, has transferable skills for all writers. The demands of commercial fiction on plot and pacing can add vitality and agency to your work, from non-fiction to poetry.When? Tuesday 24th February, 7-9pmWhere?
