Spy Fiction Writer's Workshop
Sunday, 24 May; 1 - 3 pm

“When she turned around, she found herself staring into the barrel of a gun—the lipstick gun. The face behind the gun was featureless—a dark shadow.”—Gilda Joyce: The Dead Drop

The shadow world of spying has captured the public’s imagination for centuries. Now, you can be the one to develop the plot and storyline that grips readers’ attention and quickens their pulses. Join author Jennifer Allison at the launch of her newest book, Gilda Joyce: The Dead Drop and discover how the skills used by real spies can help you develop characters and stories for fiction. Combining writing with hands-on work in disguise, surveillance, and spy gadgetry, this unique writing workshop for young spies reveals the process of creating intriguing characters and spine-tingling stories. After all the missions are completed successfully, who knows…you might just have the beginnings of your very own spy novel.
