What makes a book impossible to put down? In this interactive presentation, Carla Salmon will share how she builds suspense and momentum in her gripping mysteries. Students will experiment with the what-if prompts that inspired Carla’s CBCA-shortlisted debut, We Saw What You Started. They’ll also go behind the scenes of We Did It Anyway, learning how to hook readers, raise stakes and write with confidence.
#Booking Form for School Groups
We recommend school groups use the booking form to secure a place for your students. You can book an individual session, or a three-session bundle deal for a full day of programming, via the form. Complimentary teacher tickets can also be claimed this way.
