Informative and entertaining, this day is for anyone interested
in crime writing or harbouring ambitions of authorship.Whether you have always wanted to start a novel but not known where to begin, have a half-finished but abandoned manuscript in need of direction, or are sitting on a completed work but unsure
how to make the next step - Creative Thursday is the day for you.
Our fresh programme for 2008 covers many of the facets involved in successful crime writing. From the initial inception of a novel, to the honing of core writing skills, through to the journey a book goes on from finished manuscript to your local bookshop’s bookshelf.
Even ‘cosy’ crime needs a good murder, so this year we look at how to kill with the contents of a handbag in “How To Kill Someone With Small Change” with Zoë Sharp.
We’ll also be turning our attention to the edgier side of crime fiction, with leading authors sharing their approaches to lesser-explored subjects, such as the writing of convincing sex, romance and relationships within the genre.
The day will also include practical tutorials from creative writing specialist, Greg Mosse, in addition to gaining a unique behind the scenes look at a books journey, with Hilary Hale and a team
from Little,Brown publishers sharing the inside track on the process from acquisition to publication.
