People read thrillers for lots of reasons, but mainly for the story. As Mickey Spillane famously put it, ‘Nobody reads a book to get to the middle’. Getting your story in shape is vital. Award-winning crime novelist Liam McIlvanney takes you through the process of plotting a thriller, explaining how to generate suspense, why the three-act structure is your friend, and what strategies will carry you from inciting incident to finale. The workshop includes space for practical exercises and class discussion.
