Honing in on your genre

Join authors Tiffany Carrington, Helen Idris Jones, Patrick Larsimont, and Dario Splendido for a lively conversation hosted by Gary Dalkin in which we venture into the thrilling, romantic, terrifying, heart of genre fiction.
What is genre? Understanding your genre and not reinventing the wheel. Can you write in more than one genre? Combining genres. Which genre rules cannot be broken? And which can?
From WW2 action adventure, to psychological thrillers, dark fantasy and horror, our panel write it all, so join them as they unlock the secrets of crafting great genre fiction.
Buy a ticket to this panel and get a £5 voucher to spend in the Writers' Hive and support our authors.
