13.00– 14.30 Workshop 2: Richard Handy
'Writing a Spy Thriller: The Secret Deals, Espionage and Real History Behind The Wolfsberg Deception.'
Writing a spy thriller, especially with a historical setting, can be a challenge. You want your book to be entertaining with all the chills and thrills that keep your reader turning the pages. But how do you write a plausible high-octane spy thriller with a good premise, plot and characters?
Richard Handy takes us through his experience of writing and the inspiration for his recent novel, The Wolfsberg Deception. He shares how real historical events, secret technology, the people, and skulduggery between Germany, Russia and the British in Iran shaped his writing. Join us for a fascinating and entertaining dip into history, espionage and creative writing to find out what’s really going on in the world.
