Writing Suspense

We are really looking forward to welcoming you to ‘Writing Suspense’ with Vanessa Walters.

From unexplained disappearances to murderers that leave no trace, crime and thriller books have a long history of keeping us on the edge of our seats, and turning those pages late into the night. But how do they get us so hooked?

Join master of suspense, author Vanessa Walters (The Lagos Wife) for this online masterclass on writing suspense. She'll delve into how you can use character, setting and atmosphere to create a world of 'what ifs'. And Vanessa will discuss structure and detail, and offer advice on how you can build tension into every part of your story.

Plus Vanessa will discuss her own publication journey, and her experience of pivoting from YA writing to adult writing.
