Ruth will give you the tools you need to create page-turning crime fiction. After the workshop, you’ll receive online feedback on your project, enabling you to improve your skills over three months.
Every month, from March to May, submit 1,200 words of your work in progress and receive feedback to develop your writing and identify opportunities and areas for improvement. This online course actively encourages sharing of your work with your cohort as well as with the tutor.
