CLUE TRAILS & CRIME-LINES
A MYSTERY SCREENWRITING WORKSHOP
4 weeks - ZOOM - $250
Option 1: Sat. May 3-24, 2-4:30pm PST
Option 2: Wed. May 7-28, 6-8:30pm PST
Murder mysteries - and mysteries of all kinds - never go out of style, but there are very few resources out there for screenwriters looking to understand the genre. Even the WGA's most recent "Demystifying the Procedural" panel lacked any info on how to actually break the structure and clue trails needed for a killer mystery. This workshop aims to solve that problem!
In WEEK 1, you'll learn strategies for breaking clue trails, and organizational systems that will help you craft and juggle clues, suspects, and timelines.
In WEEK 2, we'll review clue trail case studies, and we'll use the tools from week one to practice crafting clue trails together.
And in WEEK 3, you’ll pitch your own clue trails and get feedback on them.
And in WEEK 4 we'll discuss serialized mysteries and alt subgenres like heists! You’ll also hear a pitch for a mystery show that sold in the room and received multiple offers.
**This is not a class for brand new writers. Ideally you've written a pilot, spec, or feature before and are comfortable breaking story already. Reach out if you have any questions about attending!**

"Working with Liz has changed my outlook on the potential of me achieving this dream of a screenwriting career. I have been writing for well over a decade and it wasn’t until I started working with Liz that I found the confidence in my own abilities because of her strategic, structured approach. She teaches you the skills you need to create on your own while also providing very specific notes with suggestions of how to fix things without being too prescriptive. She pitches ideas but does it in a way that makes you feel the ownership of figuring out why it’s not working and how to improve it."
