New ways into the crime novel
Sharpen your crime writing skills with two innovative, award-winning novelists. We’ll explore pace, plot, characterisation and the road to publication through a combination of workshops and one-to-one tutorials. Writing a successful crime novel takes time and application, but with craft and commitment it needn’t be murder. Participants are encouraged to bring along works in progress.
This course is fully booked. Please call the centre if you would like to be put on the waiting list or to discuss other courses.
