SUMMARY:Mystery Makers Series - in 4 Workshops   (Rochester Writes)
DESCRIPTION:(via Zoom)\n\nregistration is for all 4 workshops\n\n\n\nJen 
 Collins Moore\, Tina deBellegarde\, Carol Pouliot\, and Lida Sideris are 
 the mystery writers behind Sleuths and Sidekicks\, a group that celebrates 
 the art of the mystery story. They regularly team up to present panels and 
 workshops for writers and interested mystery readers alike. \n\nThis 4-part 
 series with a panel discussion to follow (register separately\, here\, for 
 the panel discussion) will cover all the major elements of creating a 
 mystery novel.\n\n\n\n \n\nWorkshop #1 – Carol Pouliot - Introduction     
      Wed May 3\, 630-8  \n\n\n\nWhat's so great about Agatha Christie? 
 Learn the tricks of the trade used by the best-selling mystery writer of 
 all time.\n\nHow did Agatha do it? With clever plots\, carefully planted 
 clues\, and plenty of twists and turns\, Agatha Christie’s books stand 
 the test of time. Carol Pouliot breaks down the decisions mystery writers 
 make about character\, setting\, and plot using passages from some of 
 Christie’s most celebrated books. (Spoiler alert: Carol will discuss the 
 solutions to the following:  And Then There Were None\, Murder on the 
 Orient Express\, The Hollow and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.)\n\n\n\n 
 \n\nCarol Pouliot\n\n\n\nA former language teacher\, Carol Pouliot writes 
 the acclaimed Blackwell and Watson Time-Travel Mysteries\, traditional 
 police procedurals with a seemingly impossible relationship between 
 Depression-era cop Steven Blackwell and 21st-century journalist Olivia 
 Watson. With their fast pace and unexpected twists and turns\, the books 
 have earned praise from readers and mystery authors alike. Carol is 
 president of her Sisters in Crime chapter and a founding member of Sleuths 
 and Sidekicks. When not writing\, Carol can be found reaching for her 
 passport for her next travel adventure.\n\n \n\nWorkshop #2 – Lida 
 Sideris - Characters          Wed May 10\, 630-8\n\n\n\nGetting into 
 Character: Breathing Life into Fictional Sleuths\, Sidekicks and Villains. 
 \n\nPoirot\, Bosch\, Millhone and Plum - what makes these characters so 
 memorable? This workshop with Lida Sideris will provide the groundwork for 
 developing engaging heroes\, heroines\, suspects and a supporting cast that 
 readers can love\, hate and even relate to. Learn why character conflict\, 
 interaction\, reaction and relationships are essential to creating an 
 intriguing mystery.\n\n \n\nLida Sideris\n\n\n\nLida Sideris' first stint 
 after law school was a newbie lawyer's dream: working as an entertainment 
 attorney for a movie studio...kind of like her heroine\, Corrie Locke\, 
 except without the homicides. Lida was one of two national winners of the 
 Helen McCloy Mystery Writers of America Scholarship and a Killer 
 Nashville\, Silver Falchion Award Finalist. She lives in the northern tip 
 of Southern California with her family\, rescue dogs and a flock of uppity 
 chickens. Lida is a founding member of Sleuths and Sidekicks.\n\n \n\n 
 \n\nWorkshop #3 – Tina deBellegarde - Settings          Wed May 17\, 
 630-8   \n\nSettings and Micro-settings: How to use setting to do some 
 heavy lifting in your writing. \n\nSetting is not just about where you 
 choose to place your story. Every scene has a micro-setting which can be 
 used to influence mood\, increase or relieve tension\, and flesh out a 
 character. With Tina deBellegarde you will investigate how each scene in 
 your story can be an opportunity to build and enrich your big picture 
 setting and support your character development.  \n\n\n\n \n\nTina 
 deBellegarde\n\n\n\nTina deBellegarde writes the Batavia-on-Hudson 
 Mysteries for which she has received two Agatha Award nominations. Her 
 story “Tokyo Stranger” appeared in the 2021 Mystery Writers of America 
 anthology and was nominated for a Derringer Award. Tina co-chairs Murderous 
 March\, the annual mystery writers conference. She is a founding member of 
 sleuthsandsidekicks.com\, a team of four authors who blog together\, tour 
 virtually\, and teach writing workshops online. She lives in Catskill\, NY 
 and Deerfield Beach\, Fla. She visits Japan regularly to see her son and do 
 research. She is a member of Writers in Kyoto and reviews books for 
 BooksOnAsia.net. \n\n \n\n \nWorkshop #4 – Jen Collins Moore – Plots    
       Wed May 24\, 630-8\n\n\n\n\nTension\, Clues & Red Herrings: How to 
 structure a mystery that keeps the reader guessing until the very last 
 page\n\nGreat mysteries are puzzles for the reader to untangle. Join Jen 
 Collins Moore as she explains her step-by-step method for plotting stories 
 that work. This interactive workshop includes activities to break your 
 mystery into its key elements and tips for getting the pacing\, structure\, 
 and stakes just right.\n\n\n\n \n\nJen Collins Moore\n\n\n\nJen Collins 
 Moore transports readers to Rome in The Maggie White Mysteries. Her short 
 fiction has appeared in Mystery Weekly and Masthead: The Best New England 
 Crime Stories. She is president of Sisters in Crime Chicagoland and a 
 founding member of Sleuths and Sidekicks. Jen's an avid traveler and writes 
 mysteries about the places she loves to visit. She says\, "Remembering the 
 sights\, smells\, sounds\, and\, of course\, food\, of a place is one of my 
 greatest pleasures when bringing a story to life."\n\n \n\n \n\nPanel 
 Discussion – Ask Us Anything          Wed May 31\, 630-8    
 \n\n(Registration separate and open to all in addition to those registering 
 for the workshops)\n\nseparate registration here for the panel 
 discussion\n\n\n\nwith Jen Collins Moore\, Tina deBellegarde\, Carol 
 Pouliot and Lida Sideris  \n\nThe four presenters will be available for a 
 craft panel discussion on how to publish\, how to get a manuscript in 
 order\, how to manage rejection\, and balancing the writer’s life with 
 the rest of life’s demands. This panel will be geared toward answering 
 questions so plenty of time will be allotted for Q&A on any writing-related 
 topic. \n\n\n
