How to Write a Page-turner like Game of Thrones | Cliffhangers

How to write a page-turner and keep your readers reading. In this video, I draw examples from Goosebump books and Game of Thrones to show you how you can approach adding cliffhangers to the end of each chapter without exhausting your readers. When you write your compelling story, you can structure it in much of the same way as a Goosebump book. A cliffhanger at the end of each chapter. However, not every cliffhanger should be life or death. There needs to be a variety. You need to balance it. It needs to be constructed so that it serves the greater story, and not simply have a dramatic twist for the sake of trying to keep the reader reading. The structure I want to share with you today is taken from modern day 10-episode-seasons-television series, such as Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. At the end of every one of these episodes, you get emotionally invested. You have to keep watching. It’s not even a question. However, the only reason that you are emotionally attached to the story is that each chapter or episode itself has a Freytag's pyramid to build up the tension. When it is done well and when you reach the end — call it a cliffhanger or call it a hook, either way — you are hanging on until the very end of the season (for an ultimate hook that gets you anticipating the next one).
