What delegates have said:
“A very enjoyable weekend. I came for the experience and interest and fun, but may well have come away with a best-seller…”
“A very enjoyable course. Learnt a lot. Glad of the follow up possibilities.”
“An enjoyable and productive weekend. In a seemingly effortless way, the workshops allowed me to not only form my novel idea, but to get it off the ground, allowing it to begin to have a life of its own and a momentum to continue writing after the course. The guest speakers gave real insights and fascinating glimpses into all aspects of thriller publishing.”
“Brilliant… I will recommend it happily.”

How Thriller School works:
Set at the Oxford University college of St Hilda’s, Thriller School runs over 2 days, with a series of seminars, talks and workshops, where theory and practice are woven together into a truly practical and effective fiction writing course.
Insider information and hands-on advice provide insights and understanding for you to deepen your enjoyment of reading and to learn to write crime fiction yourself. The course ensures that you will go away from the weekend with your notebook full of information, inspiration and ideas, ready to really get going on your own book, and to explore familiar and unfamiliar authors with new relish.
