Get a Clue

Want to write a mystery for kids or teens, but you're not sure how? Writing for Young Adult (YA) or middle-grade (MG) readers requires a different approach, and writing YA and MG mysteries is extra challenging. Follow award-winning author Fleur Bradley as she shows you the ropes.

This book teaches you how to:

• Develop a concept (or: how to pick the crime).
• Introduce the suspects, and how to plant clues so they're not too obvious.
• Create depth with theme and character arcs.
• Build an outline using sequences.
• Find time to write and how to revise your first draft.
• Look for publication once your manuscript is finished.

Get a Clue: How to Plot, Write, and Sell Your MG or YA Mystery is the just-the-facts handbook to write your mystery for MG or YA.
