*Course Description: *

Writing Guru Dwight Swain said that it’s the author’s job to manipulate the

emotions of the reader . There’s no better way to do this than for the

author to put his characters through one roller coaster episode after

another , taking the reader along for the ride. But how much conflict, how

much character angst is too much? How can an author keep the action from

becoming cartoonish? Bantam Spectra author Linnea Sinclair answers those

questions and more in this fun and fast-paced (because torturing students is

good, too!) workshop that explores the importance of conflict in today’s

commercial fiction novels.
