Event Description
Join us for a special collaboration event with both The Emerging Writers’ Festival, and the City of Melton Learning Festival. Iconic!
This special event sees Lauren Williams, author of crime thriller ‘Neighbourhood Watch’ pop into our regular ‘The Word Crafters Society’ meet up for a special extended session. Lauren will talk us through the secret to crafting compelling thriller fiction and traumatising your readers in the best possible way. From characters that readers want to spend time with, to the surprising relationship between comedy and suspense, to the reality of getting published – you’ll walk away with the tools to knock them dead.
