About the event
In this workshop we will enter the world of romantic suspense (or romcrime) where both sheets and plots are twisting at the same time.
This workshop is designed for writers at all stages with a particular interest in mastering the art of romantic suspense (but the workshop material can be adapted for multiple genre cross over fiction). We will explore how to seamlessly intertwine the gripping tension of a crime or mystery plot with the emotional depth and development of a romantic arc.
