Three Steps to a Killer Cozy with Andrea J. Johnson

Genre-Mystery-Crime Three Steps to a Killer Cozy with Andrea J. Johnson

*** Registration is now full. ***

Crafting a mystery series 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 you use those three questions to kick start a killer cozy community crawling with crimes, kooky characters, comedy, and a crafty cliffhanger that will leave your readers dying for more. 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 also cover the basics of mystery plotting, pacing, clue placement, and characterization—then top it all off with a hands-on exercise where the participants create a mystery plot from scratch!
