In association with Waterstones, the much-lauded Crime Fiction Masterclass rolls into Brighton, following on from the success of two masterclasses in London and one in Manchester.

Four experts in the field of fiction and crime will give you all the tools you need to get your crime fiction right. Bestselling author Erin Kelly will teach you how to introduce drama into your fiction and how to access the research you need.

Serving CSI ad author Kate Bendelow will take you through a crime scene and tell you how to avoid the pitfalls.

Graham Bartlett, an ex-senior detective, bestselling author and adviser to worldwide bestseller to Peter James, will teach you how things really work in the police.

Kate and Graham will combine their experience to teach you the realities and procedures involved in a post-mortem.

Bestselling author and practising criminal lawyer Neil White will guide you through the legal system and teach you how to get it right.

And you'll get lunch and refreshments too.
