Event Details
Mysteries, more so than any other genre, require the reader to be curious. A curious reader is an engaged reader who is actively involved in your story rather than just a passive recipient who allows themselves to be spoon-fed. The more you can hook your reader, and have them theorizing and anticipating, the faster they’ll turn the pages despite living in an age of incessant distractions.
In this presentation, Bianca Marais will look at the mechanics of storytelling and how you can effectively apply curiosity seeds to any genre you’re working in.
About the Speaker: Bianca Marais cohosts the popular podcast The Shit No One Tells You About Writing, which is aimed at helping emerging writers get published. She teaches creative writing through the podcast and was named a winner of the Excellence in Teaching Award for Creative Writing at the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies. She lives in Toronto, where she loves playing escape-room games and writing about strong female protagonists.

Fake it ’till you Make it: a presentation on Presentation
Do you sweat when you’re handed a microphone? Do you open your mouth, not sure whether you’ll speak or squeak? Do shaky hands make your notes jitter?
Maybe not. Maybe you just want to make the best possible impression when you’re speaking to a room.
Either way, Rob Pirie wants you to know you’re not alone. We all get nervous sometimes. Even the ones who don’t show it! In this four-week class, Rob will share practical tips that can help you look and feel confident, even when you’re not. You’ll learn online, in the safety of your home, and reinforce that learning with exercises. Then, you and your classmates will meet with Rob in person for a chance to speak in front of a very special audience—each other!
P.S. This class will wrap up the week before the WCDR’s 30th anniversary celebration! It’s the perfect preparation if you want to share your work at the party!
