Whodunnit? You can do it - Anna Boatman

Whodunnit? You can do it.

Anna Boatman is publisher across Piatkus Fiction and Constable Crime, two imprints which in total publish around sixty crime authors, ranging from the late, beloved queen of cosy crime MC Beaton, to romantic suspense bestsellers such as Jayne Ann Krentz, to UK bestselling authors of moral thrillers such as Lisa Ballantyne. In this session we’ll be looking at how the crime genre, now the largest fiction genre in the UK and US, is changing. What are publishers looking for in a crime novel? What are the variations in tone, content and publishing strategy between the different kinds of crime fiction?

During this session we’ll share tips and tricks of the whodunnit trade and offer the chance to ask questions and discuss works in progress. Whether you’re aspiring or already published, if you’re keen on writing crime, this hour is for you!
