Course Information:
A course geared toward those seeking to delve into the world of crime fiction or those who have already drafted a mystery or suspense story that maybe isn’t as mysterious or suspenseful as you’d hoped.
Description:
As an award-winning author of more than 15 novels of mystery and suspense, Annette Dashofy will share what she’s learned about creating a page-turning whodunit that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, guessing and second-guessing the identity of the killer. She has taught this material in individual segments over the years for various Sisters in Crime chapters both online and in person, at Pennwriters Conferences, and other writing conferences around the country. In this course, she’ll combine the separate classes into one course.
Mastering the Mystery will help aspiring crime fiction writers to determine into which genre and subgenre their story fits, learn how to craft a puzzle that will keep the reader staying up past their bedtime to solve the murder, and learn where to go to get answers to questions like “would a cop really do that?”
