Wondering why crime writers are flocking to join Crime Fiction Coach on Facebook - an online writing group run by Susi (SJI) Holliday, Steph Broadribb, Louise Voss & AK Benedict?
Well there's only one way to find out...
You can join the Crime Fiction Coach online writing group on Facebook by clicking here.
Here's your chance to learn more about crime writing and publishing and get hints and tips from writing coaches and published authors.
New monthly features
Crime Fiction Coach has introduced several new monthly features. These include:
1. 'Reading as a Writer' Book Group - analyse a crime thriller and share your thoughts in a live discussion with the author about how they wrote the book. Reading 'as a reader' is a very different experience to reading 'as a writer' - working out how the author built up the suspense and atmosphere, shocked their audience, structured their plot, created believable characters, conveyed emotions and themes etc. The first book club pick is The Last Stage by Louise Voss (published by Orenda Books).
2. CFC Monthly Challenge - use a specific prompt to write a short story or a scene in a novel (of up to 500 words), with a prize for the winner.
There's more ... including a hot monthly topic of discussion.
But you'll have to join the Facebook group to find out exactly what else is going on.
One-to-one advice
The Facebook group offers plenty of free advice in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. But if you're looking for specific help, Crime Fiction Coach also offers one-to-one coaching services and can help you through all stages of the writing process:
- gathering together your thoughts and ideas
- finding the writing process that works for you
- keeping you motivated
- writing a first draft
- wading through the editing process
- offering honest constructive critique
- creating a polished manuscript to submit to agents and publishers.
