Are you looking to learn how to finally write that private eye novel? Or do you want to figure out what’s wrong with the one you’ve already written? If yes, then it may be time to get schooled. And there’s never been a better time. The Crime Fiction Academy, part of The Center for Fiction, is offering a 10% tuition discount to members of the New York Chapter of Mystery Writers of America for their spring 2015 session. Classes begin February 10.
Authors and courses scheduled for this session are::
▪ Alison Gaylin on “Crafting the Perfect Crime Novel”
▪ Jonathan Santlofer on “Advanced Crime Fiction Writing”
▪ Duane Swierczynski on “Learning from the Masters”
The Crime Fiction Academy debuted in 2012. Students are taught by successful practitioners of the genre, and classes take place in The Center’s eight-story building at 17 E. 47th Street in Manhattan. Every writer enrolled in CFA attends a 12-week writing workshop (divided up into two six-week sessions), plus master classes with experts in the field. All classes, workshops, and lectures take place in the evening.
To enroll for the spring 2015 session, email sara@centerforfiction.org with proof of membership (your membership card!) to receive the discount. The CFA has also be kind enough to extend the discount to members of any MWA chapter who may happen to be in New York this spring.
