CRIME AND THRILLERS
May 26, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. GMT
Location: Zoom

How do you write a book that pulls readers in and won’t let them go? How do you handle the business of twists and red herrings in crime and thrillers? And how do you do the right amount of research so that your book feels authentic, without getting bogged down?
In this workshop we will look at the way the crime market has grown and changed over the years and talk about where your book might sit. We will do some short, practical exercises designed to get you thinking about the bones of your book, from elements of pace of tension to character development.
You will come away with a grounding in how to approach writing crime and thrillers and with an understanding of what makes editors and agents keep reading a submission.
