Let’s say you’ve got a thriller, horror, or suspense novel–or even women’s fiction, and things just turn…scary for a moment. Even a picture book can contain fear.
How do you leverage that emotional power to give your reader goosebumps–or, at least, make them keep reading so they have to know your main character will be okay?
Enter Shelly Romero, editor (once of Goosebumps fame) here to tell you all about how to make your scary elements scarier, more compelling–and the sort of thing that will stay with an agent a long, long time.
Shelly Romero (she/her) is a Honduran-American book editor based in NYC. She graduated with her BA in English from Stephens College and a graduate certificate from the NYU Summer Publishing Institute. In 2020, she was selected as a Publishers Weekly Star Watch Honoree.
