Plan the Perfect Crime
Writing a great mystery takes a lot of thought, creativity and ingenuity. With so many strings to weave together a compelling tale, we ourselves can start to get lost: We miss obvious plot holes, write unconvincing red herrings, and can even forget to tie up loose ends. What was once a great puzzle starts to feel like a sloppy mess.
Not with The Complete Crime Writer's Workbook.

About the Author
​When I began coaching crime writers, I was underwhelmed with the kinds of resources available to help crime writers develop their stories.
​
I began studying every crime story I could get my hands on, good and bad, to help my clients avoid common pitfalls and create truly masterfully crafted mysteries.
​
After 5 years of intense study, trial and error, and one-on-one feedback, I have create a comprehensive set of questions and templates that I now walk all of my crime clients through to see their ideas for great crime stories come fully to life for effective writing and thrilling reading.
​
In this workbook is everything I have learned and developed, packed into one comprehensive guide.
