Crime can pay! At least it does when you write a publishable detective, mystery or crime story.

The Writing School's Crime, Mystery & Suspernse writing course aims to give you the skills to take you from the spark of an idea, though to polishing your final manuscript. Plus, as your course is delivered by distance education, there are no timetables to adhere to so your study can fit around your current lifestyle.
