The Art and Craft of Murder and Mystery

The purpose of this course is to accelerate the students’ development as crime writers. Workshops will look at techniques used by crime novelists (many of which apply to other forms of fiction). We will examine how to hook the reader and create suspense. We will also look at the practicalities of publishing crime fiction today. One-to-one sessions will allow students to discuss work in progress with each of the tutors. The programme is designed for both the beginner and the more experienced writer.

Andrew Taylor won the CWA Diamond Dagger Award and Historical Dagger (three times). His novels include international best seller The American Boy, and the Roth Trilogy, filmed for ITV as Fallen Angel. He is Spectator’s crime fiction reviewer. www.andrew-taylor.co.uk
