In this four-hour masterclass of crime fiction construction Candice Fox explores all aspects of structure, pace and plot. How do you hook readers? How do you know you have ‘enough’ for a novel? What do you do about a book that sags in the middle? 

With a decade of bestselling publishing experience and a practical, personalised approach to teaching, Candice sets students up to get their novel ideas down in a straightforward and effective manner. She has a student-led style and will drill down into the topics that those in the class feel they need most. 

This workshop is led by Candice Fox, of Australia’s most acclaimed crime writers. She has won three Ned Kelly Awards for Hades, Eden and The Chase. Her novels – Fall, Crimson Lake, Redemption Point and Gone by Midnight – were all shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award and Crimson Lake has been adapted for television as Troppo. Candice’s most recent bestseller is Fire With Fire. She also collaborates with James Patterson and their first book Never Never set in the outback was an immediate international bestseller. Her books are published in fifteen languages
