DETECTIVE ONLINE CLASS

Want to Write A Detective Script That Stands Above the Crowd?

There have been thousands of detective stories, but with our Detective Online Class you can write an original one that will get you noticed.

This form is about the unending search for truth, the struggle to claw through the facades, lies and misdirection of the master criminal. The best detective stories not only sequence the clues to the crime, they also set up an elaborate smoke screen to fool the detective and the audience.
