Love a good mystery? Fancy yourself as the next Richard Osman?How to Plan a Murder Masterclass is a lively, supportive one-day masterclass designed to help you build the bones of a compelling crime story.
Perfect for complete beginners and writers already juggling half-finished drafts, this fast-paced workshop guides you through the core building blocks of a great mystery. You will create a victim, an investigator, and a cast of believable suspects, then explore how motive, clues, and red herrings fit together to shape a satisfying plot.
By the end of the day, you will leave with a clear working outline for your own crime novel or short story, plus a toolkit of practical techniques you can keep using as you continue to develop it.
This is an imaginative, hands-on day with plenty of upbeat discussion, short writing exercises, and lots of chances to play with character, motive, and structure in a fun, accessible way. Expect to think like a detective, plot like a novelist, and enjoy the process along the way.
