How do you give readers an ending that delivers on everything you’ve made them expect?
Join bestselling psychological thriller author Alex Stone for this live, interactive two-hour masterclass exploring how to bring a psychological thriller to a satisfying and compelling conclusion.
During the session, you’ll:
- Explore what makes a thriller ending feel earned and satisfying
- Consider how to build towards an effective climax
- Explore the timing and impact of final revelations
- Consider how your characters’ emotional and psychological journeys resolve
- Look back at the questions and promises established at the beginning of your novel
- Explore how to leave the reader satisfied while still delivering surprise
Whether you’re planning your ending before you begin, approaching the final chapters of your novel or revisiting an ending that isn’t quite working, you’ll be able to apply the session to your own story and ask questions along the way.
Thursday 3 December 2026 | 7–9pm UK time | Live online via Google Meet
Also included: Writers’ Hub
Your booking also gives you access to the Author Events Writers’ Hub — an informal live online hour where you can ask questions, discuss how you’re applying the teaching to your own novel, and connect with Alex and other writers.
