The Art of Mystery Writing
A six-part class with Roseanne Montillo
Wednesdays, January 6 & 20,
February 3 & 17, and March 3 & 17 at 7:00 p.m.
What is a mystery?
What distinguishes it from other genres of
Fiction?
What makes some mysteries more successful than others?
In this class participants will look at these questions and work toward beginning a first draft mystery narrative. By using plot devices well-known to mystery writers, such as in-depth characterizations, colorful settings, tones, and exercises in point of view, the class will understand how a mystery is constructed from the ground up.
Registration for this class will begin on January 4.
Please call the Information Desk at (781) 395-7950 to register.
Funded by the Friends of the Medford Public Library.
Roseanne Montillo is a twice graduate of Emerson College. She currently teaches at Emerson College, Lesley University, and runs her own mystery writers' group. Her first book, Halloween and Commemorations of the Dead, was published in August of 2009.
