Smash out your crime novel

Amanda Hampson

In this four-hour, fast paced beginner’s workshop, you’ll discover how to plunder your own life for unique plot angles, develop a killer premise, create engaging characters and outwit readers with red herrings and plot reversals that create mystery and suspense. 

By the end of the workshop, you will understand the vital components of crime fiction writing including characterisation, structure and pace, and techniques of concealment and revelation. You’ll also learn how to develop authentic dialogue, add humour and create a satisfying denouement.

This workshop is led by Amanda Hampson, the bestselling author of nine novels. Her first foray into cosy crime, The Tea Ladies was one of the top ten bestselling Australian novels of 2023 and The Cryptic Clue released in 2024 was also an instant hit. The next in the series, The Deadly Dispute (Penguin) will be out in April 2025.
