If you have been thinking about trying your hand at thriller writing, then take the plunge and enroll in the Sydney Writers’ Centre’s last thriller writing course of the year, which kicks off tomorrow evening at 6:30pm and runs for 5 weeks. By Christmas you could be on your way to writing a best-selling thriller!

If you come along you’ll learn:

• the eight “must haves” of a good thriller
• how to find the story you want to tell
• story structure, and how to incorporate key turning points
• character creation – attributes, motivations
• how to craft the all important opening lines
• the dos and don’ts of action scenes
• building pace and suspense
• how to craft a satisfying climax
• what literary agents/publishers look for in a thriller.
