new crime, thriller <strong>and</strong> mystery fiction writers from diverse backgrounds.<br />
To help you get started writ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> these genres, we commissioned the crime writer Fiona<br />
Cumm<strong>in</strong>s to write about her journey to be<strong>in</strong>g an author, def<strong>in</strong>itions of each of the genres with<br />
examples, exercises that will help you grow your ideas <strong>and</strong> further resources to develop your<br />
craft.<br />
This guide is paired with the first workshop <strong>in</strong> the programme, which will be run by Fiona<br />
Cumm<strong>in</strong>s on Thursday 25 May <strong>and</strong> is free to jo<strong>in</strong>. For more details, please visit the Spread the<br />
