Five Foreshadowing Tips Every Author Should Know
We’ve all had that moment as a reader where a plot twist hits and everything suddenly clicks. Huzzah! That sense of satisfaction comes from intentional foreshadowing. In this 45-minute session, we’re moving past the usual tropes to look at the psychological hooks that keep people glued to the page.
Whether you prefer a detailed outline or you discover your story as you write, Bekah Brinkmeier will share five practical techniques to help you master the craft of the "plant" and the "payoff." We’ll focus on hiding clues in plain sight, using casual dialogue to hint at the resolution, and creating the kind of endings that turn casual readers into loyal fans. You’ll walk away with a checklist to use to ensure your foreshadowing hits every time.
