WRITING CRIME FICTION - Saturday April 14th - Tutor Dr Ron Day

Many of us enjoy a crime novel and writing one can be just as much fun.

This genre requires the creation of colourful characters, the development of a twisting and turning storyline, the laying down of false clues and a final scene with a real twist. 

​We will examine characters in popular crime novels and explore why they are so well loved. We will look at the personality of criminals
and what drives them to commit crimes.​

​Building tension and planting false clues is vital in this genre. We will look at effective ways to do that. 

Date: Saturday April 14th 
​

Time: 10am to 3pm

Where: Gondor Writers’ Centre, 19 Caloundra St, Landsborough.

Cost: $60
