How to Write a Murder with Kate Emery

(For young people aged 12-17 years)

This interactive workshop walks participants through the history of the modern murder mystery, from "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" to "A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder". It also shows them how to write their own, from creating a memorable detective to planting clues (and red herrings)!

It is recommended that participants bring their own stationery (writing paper or notebook) to the workshop.

Kate Emery is the author of three young adult novels, "The Not So Chosen One" (2022), "My Family and Other Suspects" (2024) and "A Murder is Going Down" (2025). Her books have won the WA Premier’s Book Award, the Australian Book Industry Award and been shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Literary Award.
