Whether it’s a chapter ending or the conclusion of a novel or memoir, endings matter. Not every chapter needs to end with a cliffhanger, but there should be a sense of drawing the chapter’s purpose to a close. Every book should leave the reader with a sense of satisfaction. It doesn’t have to be a happy ending, but it does need to tidy up all the loose story ends. There’s nothing worse than leaving your reader with this thought: “Did their printer run out of ink?”
During this Writer’s Table, I will cover:
How beginnings and endings are linked
Examples of successful ways to end books
How genre can affect endings
Differences between chapter versus book endings
When to think about your ending
Writing Exercise
