Short and sweet, here are my top ten tips for writing crime fiction<\/a> and thrillers<\/a> that will please the reader and make publishers<\/a> reach for their chequebooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Know The Market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Read very widely. As many authors as possible, not as many books. If you\u2019ve read one book by Patricia Cornwell or Linwood Barclay, then move on. You know their prose, their style. Find what else is out there. That means also reading the classics, knowing genre history, and reading plenty of fiction in translation, too. It also means reading relevant non-fiction<\/a>. If you\u2019re writing political espionage thrillers, for example, you need to know the political, military and security background. If you don\u2019t, your readers will, and you\u2019ll be caught out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Understand Where The Leading Edge Lie<\/strong>s<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest names (think Coben, Rankin, Reichs) are not the most current. They built their reputations years back. Try to locate the sexiest (i.e. bestselling, most praised, most innovative, prize-winning) debut novels. That\u2019s what editors<\/a> are buying today. That\u2019s the market you\u2019re competing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n

3.<\/strong> Don\u2019t Just Trot Out Old Clich\u00e9s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve got a serial killer, have you? A terrorist bomb plot? Be tough with yourself. These tropes are tired. They can work if you handle them in a new or dazzling way, but the old ways are no longer enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Be Comple<\/strong>x<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your plot needs intricacy<\/a> and a surprising number of well-planned, well-executed twists<\/a>. Modern crime authors have become great at developing complex but plausible plots<\/a>, and because modern thriller<\/a> writers have become so adept at delivering endless chains of impossible-to-see-it-coming twists, you can\u2019t afford to be less than devilishly clever yourself. With rare exceptions, simple no longer sells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.<\/strong> Stay With The Darkness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your book must be dark and tough. That\u2019s your entry ticket to the genre. What you do there can be very varied, but cute, cosy crime is a very limited market now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> Don\u2019t Forget Jeopardy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crime novels now are also thrillers<\/a>. It\u2019s not fine for the detective to solve the mystery<\/a> and explain it all to a hushed and respectful audience. On the contrary, he or she must live in fear of his or her life. It\u2019s got to be thrilling, as well as intellectually satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong> Concentrate On Character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Crime and thriller<\/a> plots are easily forgettable, and often feel very samey anyway. Characters<\/a> like Elvis Cole, Hannibal Lecter, on the other hand, never leave us. If you find a strong characte<\/a>r, and do everything else reasonably competently, then you quite likely have fiction that\u2019ll sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8.<\/strong> Write Well<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bad writing will almost certainly kill your chances. You don\u2019t have to be flowery<\/a>. You do have to be competent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.<\/strong> Be Economical<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thrillers <\/a>need to be taut. Check your book for needless chapters<\/a>, your chapters for needless paragraphs, your paragraphs for needless sentences, and your sentences for needless words. Then do it all over again. Twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10.<\/strong> Be Perfectionist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Very good isn\u2019t good enough. Dazzling is the target. Being tough with yourself is the essential first ingredient. Getting someone else to be tough with you is quite possibly the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I said ten tips, didn\u2019t I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an eleventh: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

11.<\/strong> Don\u2019t Give Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be persistent. You learn by doing, and the more you write, the better you\u2019ll be. Think about building your skills<\/a>, engaging with the industry<\/a>, or getting editorial advice<\/a>. All those things will enhance your writing, too. As ever, best of luck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
