Crime Fiction Masterclass

Ever fancied trying your hand at writing crime fiction but don't have the confidence?

Have you started writing a novel but ran out of steam after the opening chapter? Then this crime writing masterclass is for you.

The session will be delivered by our wonderful local author, Emma

Salisbury. Emma is the creator of a successful police procedural series set in fictional Salford Precinct Station featuring DS Kevin Coupland, as well as a gritty series of gangland thrillers set in Edinburgh.

She lives in East Lothian with her partner Stephen and enjoys the odd glass of something sparkling when the sun is over the yard arm.

This interactive session will include the fundamentals of crime fiction writing:

1. Story Construction

2. Creating Characters

3. Building Suspense

4. The importance of research

5. Constructing your story

The Masterclass costs only £20 and Emma is kindly donating all proceeds to the work of the GVA.
