Masterclass: Exploring Autofiction
Stealing content
When writing crime fiction, how do you hook your reader and keep them hooked? How do you craft an ending that both convinces and satisfies? The best and most fulfilling mysteries strive to make sure that, as well as an intellectual grasp of the solution, the reader gets to ‘feel the solve’ and experience the pleasure of moving from a state of confusion into one of knowing on a deeper and more impactful level.
Sophie Hannah is the Course Director for the Master’s Degree in Crime and Thriller Writing at the University of Cambridge, and her crime fiction has sold millions of copies worldwide. During this session, which will include writing exercises to inspire new work, she will offer expertise and practical guidance on building your connection with your reader and how to make ‘feeling the solve’ work effectively in your crime fiction.
The Masterclass will be delivered via Zoom webinar, so you can take the session at your own pace, without the pressure of having your video or camera on. Sessions are also recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you will have access to the recording for a month afterwards.
