1:00 PM: Writing workshop led by Timothée Rey at the Drap Village Media Library:
The workshop aims to write a true “investigation story,” at a more difficult level, with ten participants, no more, no less. The authors will follow a pre-established synopsis, divided into ten chapters. With the victim, culprit, investigator, motive, opportunity, and murder weapon chosen, a preliminary discussion will define secondary characters, locations, and red herrings. Then each will tackle writing their text.
