‘A Man Comes Into the Room with a Gun …’ Crime Writing Workshop with Zoë Sharp
19/05/2012 - 19/05/2012
Derby Central Library10am to 3.45pm Central Library, The Wardwick, Derby DE1 1HS £25, booking essential. One day creative writing workshop for adults Raymond Chandler’s most famous piece of advice to writers of crime novels was, “When in doubt, have a man come through the door with a gun in his hand.” Great in principle, not so easy in practice. So, how do you create and maintain nail-biting suspense in your writing? Writing a good crime thriller is tough, and most work will be judged on the quality of its opening – the first line, the prologue or opening chapter, the initial scenario. We’ll be looking at techniques to hit the ground running and ensure your readers will keep turning the pages, by torchlight if necessary, until they reach the breathless conclusion.
Zoë Sharp wrote her first novel at fifteen and created her no-nonsense bodyguard heroine, Charlie Fox, after receiving death-threat letters as a photojournalist. She has published nine novels and her work has been optioned for TV. www.ZoeSharp.com, Cost: £25, including tea and coffee throughout the day, booking essential. Book at any Derby city library, for more information telephone 01332 641701 or email central.library@derby.gov.uk

The Derby Lectures: Mines, Mills and Machines
31/05/2012 - 31/05/2012
Derby Local Studies Library
Join Che Binder as he explores the Enlightenment in Derby and Derbyshire.
The birth of the scientific method and early emphasis on its application to industry led to the world’s first factories and other wonders such as the purpose-built technological marvel that was Strutt’s General Infirmary in Derby. Philosophers, scientists and industrialists travelled from all over England and Europe to view these achievements in order that they might emulate them at home.
Charles Cotton ‘Wonders of the Peak’ and Defoe’s work also encouraged people at this time to begin to view the natural landscape as a spectacle in its own right, rather than as a resource to be exploited.
Learn about the voyages of discovery taking place in eighteenth century Derby and the along the Derwent. Count the world firsts as they stack up and find out more about the men who laid the foundations of the modern world.
Venue : Derby Local Studies Library
Cost : £6
Date/Time : Thursday 31 May, 7.30pm – 9pm
