Good crime writing makes a reader’s heart race and their stomach turn. Stuart and Louise will share their techniques, tips and experience to show you how it is done. Through workshops on plot development, editing and developing tension-building techniques, both writers will draw upon years of experience to help you improve your writing, no matter what stage you are at.

Stuart MacBride is the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of the Logan McRae and Ash Henderson novels.
