ABOUT THIS SESSION

Suspense is built moment by moment, not just in big reveals. Award-winning author Vic DiGenti shares proven techniques for keeping readers engaged through micro-tension, pacing, and careful control of information. This session explores how to reveal just enough at the right time while holding back what matters most, creating anticipation that carries a story from opening scene to final page.
