Professional, crisp, crime fiction course delivers!

Just got this lovely testimonial from an ex-student....THANK YOU

"Louise Phillips knows what makes a good story - and has proved it by writing several bestselling crime novels. In this workshop, she imparts the literary knowledge and practical skills learned along the way.

Character development, plot progression and dialogue… each tutorial blends critical analysis, advice in shaping individual work, detailed feedback, guidelines and measurable strategies. The fact that this course is now a staple on the Irish Writers’ Centre calendar is testament to its success in helping participants focus and develop their craft.

There are many voices offering options for writers to improve their writing. This professional, crisp, crime fiction course delivers."
