Crafting a mystery can be fraught with peril, but there are three questions that lie at the heart of the terror: Who are the suspects? What makes them suspects? Who is the sleuth? This session will help participants use those three questions to kickstart a killer cozy community crawling with crimes, kooky characters, cliffhangers, and comedy. Since we also want audiences to care about the crime, understand the motivation of our detective, and remain stumped until the final page, we’ll cover the tenets plotting, pacing, clue placement, and characterization–everything participants need to create a cozy from scratch!
