SUMMARY:Writing Crime Fiction
DESCRIPTION:With its criminals\, cops\, and everything in between\, crime fiction is this country’s best-selling genre. But what makes it so popular? And why? \nWhat sets it apart from any other genre? And more importantly\, how can you write it? \nThis will be a course that covers character\, dialogue\, landscape and dramatic narrative. It will also involve group workshops with the writers presenting their works in progress for analysis and critique. It will also work as a writing support group\, encouraging the writers to talk to each other and celebrate/commiserate on how their work is going. Celebrate\, obviously.\nI will be there to guide and structure the writers’ work\, giving critiques and holding workshops\, utilising writing tools and exercises to keep the work coming along and the writers unblocked. We will also look at editing and reediting to make sure the finished work is in the best possible form by the end of the course.\nThe end result should be at least a sizeable chunk of a novel\, if not a completed one\, ready to take further. \n\nMartyn Waites was an actor before becoming a writer. He has been nominated for every major British crime fiction award and has written over twenty novels including the critically acclaimed Joe Donovan series\, Born Under Punches which won the Grand Prix du Roman Etranger and The White Room which was a Guardian best book of the year. His next novel\, The Other People\, will be coming out in April\, under the new name CB Everett. \n\nWEDNESDAYS 14.00-15.30 \nSeptember: 17th\, 24th\nOctober: 1st\, 8th\, 15th\, 22nd\nNovember: 5\, 12\, 19\, 26\nDecember: 3\, 10\, 17\nJanuary:14\, 21\, 28\n⁠February: 3\, 10 \n\n£900 or can pay in three instalments via Klarna at checkout
