How to Create Suspense: Writers Workshop Led by Melinda Farris
2025-09-25 14:00 - 16:00 | 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902, 601 Bladen Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902
How to Create Suspense: 5 Unforgettable Cliffhanger-Ending Techniques
How do you keep the reader reading when the average adult’s attention span is 8.25 seconds? Cliffhangers are a technique used by genre writers (who sometimes get a bad rap) to keep their readers reading. And isn’t that what we all aspire to, above everything? Because cliffhangers are sometimes associated with schlocky writing, that doesn’t mean we should ignore their usefulness as a craft tool in all sorts of writing. We’ll look at five chapter-ending cliffhanger techniques with examples you can use in your own writing.
Endorsement: “Melinda prepared an absolutely top-notch seminar about the craft of chapter-ending cliffhangers—a topic I’ve never encountered anyone else teaching about, and for which she devised an entirely original taxonomy of cliffhanger types that is worthy of publication. I can’t think of a more precise, better organized, better supported craft seminar I’ve overseen in my twenty years at Lesley University.”–Michael Lowenthal, author of Charity Girl
Location and Cost: This is an in-person writers workshop, held at the Pat Conroy Literary Center (601 Bladen St, Beaufort). Limited to 15 participants with advance registration required; $45/person. https://howtocreatesuspense.eventbrite.com

Beaufort's First Historian: An Evening with Dr. John A. Johnson (1819-93)
2025-09-23 18:00 - 19:00 | 913 West St, Beaufort, SC 29902-4664, United States
In 1873, during the heyday of Radical Reconstruction, a physician and former Confederate soldier named Dr. John A. Johnson wrote a history of Beaufort, South Carolina. The resulting work — Beaufort and the Sea Islands: Their History and Traditions — is informative, eloquent, and deeply strange. It offers a unique window into how one white Beaufortonian tried to cope with a difficult post-Civil War present by immersing himself in a more congenial pre-Civil War past.
About the Presenter
Dr. James Shinn, Jr. is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, where he teaches a range of courses in U.S. history. He has researched and written extensively about the history of the United States in the 19th century. Shinn received his PhD in History from Yale University in 2020.

Best-selling writer Pat Conroy (1945–2016) inspired a worldwide legion of devoted fans numbering in the millions, but none are more loyal to him and more committed to sustaining his literary legacy than the many writers he nurtured over the course of his fifty-year writing life. In sharing their stories, his fellow writers honor his memory and advance our shared understanding of his lasting impact on literary life in and well beyond the American South. Winner of 17 book awards, the anthology Our Prince of Scribes: Writers Remember Pat Conroy is a collection of remembrances from 67 writers befriended, beloved, taught, mentored, and championed by Conroy—and no two stories are the same. Neither are any two panel discussions among the contributors.
Join us at Village Social of Habersham on Monday, September 22, 6:00-8:00 p.m., for a lively conversation, moderated by Our Prince of Scribes co-editor and Pat Conroy Literary Center executive director Jonathan Haupt and featuring a trio of contributing writers: Conroy’s Beaufort High School classmate Stephanie Austin Edwards (author of the novel What We Set in Motion), his Citadel classmate John Warley (author of seven works of fiction and nonfiction, most recently A Jury of One), and Conroy’s friend and mentee, Lynn Seldon (novelist and travel writer, co-author of 100 Things to Do in the Lowcountry Before You Die).
The $25 registration fee includes the presentation, refreshments, and a donation in support of the year-round educational mission of the nonprofit Pat Conroy Literary Center. Register in advance for this event and others in this series at
