In this mystery and thriller writing workshop you’ll learn about whodunits, howdunits, the whydunits in writing a mystery.
​
Planting clues, finding the evidence, weeding out the suspects and how to weave it all together in a compelling story.
​
Are you working on a high stakes thriller? Thinking of writing a cozy mystery? A domestic suspense? A private eye novel?
​
These all use similar writing techniques. We’ll talk about creating a multi-dimensional villain/esse - the architect of your noir - who orchestrates your story in a thriller or a traditional mystery. Setting and sense of place and of course, just the facts ma'am.
How to get police, medical pathologists roles and procedure correctly and yes, getting it right even if you’re writing a Sherlock Holmes pastiche. It’s all in the details!
