So many of our favorite thriller authors write series. Think Michael Connolly, Walter Mosely, Louise Penny, Jo Nesbø, Nick Petrie, James Byrne, Traci Clark. Readers love to follow a character through multiple mysteries; multiple books. So what can you learn from your favorite series as you approach your own? We’ll explore the questions we should consider as we develop our series, discuss how our favorite authors answered those questions, and we’ll do some exercises. Come prepared to analyze your favorite series and apply what we learn to your own. And hopefully you’ll come away with a clearer understanding of the direction your writing is taking.
This course is a part of Thrills and Chills Fest, a weekend celebration of thriller, mystery, crime, and suspense taking place on March 15 and 16, with the opportunity to engage in craft seminars, panels, happy hours, and fun evening events. Learn more here.
