There are many ways to make your book a pageturner. Here are just some.

• Craft suspense whatever your genre. Make each scene and chapter a cliff-hanger, leaving the reader with questions for which they need answers.
• Create a delicate balance between what your reader knows and what each character knows.
• Foreshadowing what is to come creates anticipation.
• Lead and mislead your reader at appropriate times.
• Language and word choice create mood and atmosphere.
• Lush writing involving all the senses creates an emotional response in the reader.
• Dripfeed your story, allowing your reader the satisfaction of piecing most things together for themselves.
• Use pacing wisely. Vary the pace at which the story moves, sentence length and structure to build to a climax or relax the reader before a shock or surprise.
• Raise the stakes both external and internal for your protagonist, then set a clock ticking on a time limit.
• Use twists and turns to keep the reader curious.
