Do you want to have your readers on the edge of their seats?
Join Rose Wilding, author of ultimate revenge thriller Speak of the Devil, for this online masterclass on thriller writing.
Rose will reveal the key ingredients of a thriller, and discuss how you can use, and subvert, these tropes of the genre. She'll offer her top tips for writing a beginning that packs a punch, as well as how to make sure that the rest of the book follows through. Plus she'll share her advice on how to use time pressure and pace to keep a reader gripped, and how to craft a cast of characters that will draw a reader in.
Rose will also discuss her own writing and editing processes, as well as her journey to publication!
This masterclass will take place online via Teams. It will also be recorded so if you are unable to attend live, you'll be able to catch-up and access the recording for up to two weeks after the event has taken place. The session will end with a brief Q&A, so come ready with your questions!
Rose Wilding is a queer, working-class writer from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. She has an MA in creative writing from The University of Manchester.
She currently lives in Cheshire with her partner and their two naughty chihuahuas.
Speak of the Devil is her first novel.
