Writing Cozy Mysteries Workshop Starts July 13th
I’ve taken class via the Orange County Chapter of Romance Writers of America (RWA). I’ve really enjoyed them and have referred back to my notes on various occasions. One of my manuscripts is the first novel in a cozy mystery series, so I’m looking forward to signing up for this class in July. Check it out! — Ty

ABOUT THE CLASS
In Cozy Writing 101, Emily Brightwell will share the method she uses to plot her “Inspector and Mrs. Jeffries” Victorian mystery series. In this class, Emily will cover everything from how to come up with a real killer of an idea to how to get to the solution of the crime. Topics covered will include: coming up with your protagonist, how to find the very best suspects, the kind of setting needed for a cozy, how to plant clues and red herrings and finally, the final resolution. This is the same great class Emily taught here in 2006!
