SUMMARY:ENGAGING READERS WITH EFFECTIVE PACING | April 2026 Writing Show (In Person)
DESCRIPTION:Pacing isn’t just about car chases and cliffhangers—it’s the rhythm that keeps readers engaged\, whether you’re writing historical fiction\, fantasy\, an essay\, or a poem. Our panelists will explore how to control the flow of information and how to create momentum that carries readers through your work. Learn techniques for varying sentence length\, managing white space\, balancing introspection with action\, and other structural choices that shepherd your reader’s experience from the first line to the last. \nSpeakers: John Copenhaver\, Nicole Glover\, Alethea McCollin\, and Moderator Melissa Scott Sinclair \n\n\n\nTime: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm Eastern Time \nLocation: IN PERSON at the Visual Arts Center | 1812 W Main St\, Richmond\, VA 23220 \nCost: $12 Members | $21 Non-members \nRegistration is required and space is limited. Ample parking is available on site.  \nIf you are a Writing Show Member\, please be sure to register and claim your spot. This will ensure we have enough seats for all who wish to attend. \nThe Writing Show includes a social time from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm. This portion of the evening is optional. If you choose to only attend the panel discussion\, please arrive in time to find parking and be seated before the panel discussion begins at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n \n  \n\n\n    \n\n \n___________________________________________________________________________________________________ \n \nThis program is supported in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
