Think Like a Journalist to Create Powerful Fiction

If your mystery novel was based on real events, what aspects of the story would keep the public glued to the television to learn more? And how would you tell that story to give meaning to the events and create a deeper emotional impact? In this seminar, you will get to put yourself in the place of an investigative reporter -- one who is delving into the fictional world you have created to find the scandalous secrets your characters are harboring, and the delightful details that will help convince readers that your story world is real. From cozy to noir, any project gains a new perspective when you Think Like a Journalist.
