Create Stories That Keep Readers Hooked from Start to Finish

Foreshadowing is the secret ingredient that makes readers gasp at a plot twist, feel the weight of a character’s fate, and stay up all night turning pages. But mastering it takes skill—too little, and your twist feels random; too much, and your readers see it coming a mile away.
