Have you always wanted to write an exciting story but don’t know where to start? During this three-part workshop with thriller writer Erik Betten (pseudonym Rifka Faber), you’ll learn how to build a thriller and turn an idea into a good story.
Erik takes you step by step through the structure of an exciting story. You’ll learn how to construct a plot, build suspense and shape characters and storylines. At the end, you’ll go home with new knowledge, a developed plot and the first steps of your own story.
