How To Write A True Crime Novel Like A Pro

By Martha Burns


Criminal cases occur every day and in all countries. They have become part of the most popular things authors will want to write about and publish for novel lovers. Although, most people would like to watch criminal stories on movies, view them on pictures, read them on documentaries, producing a real crime novel can as well work better for readers. Here are essential tips that will help you come up with a sweet true crime novel.

Storybooks can be written in different forms, but then you must research on the best format for writing. For example, if you want to write something that you are certain about their existence in doing criminal activities and the location for their happenings, stick to fiction writing. Conversely, using real information, occurrence and people means that you must use the non-fiction way of writing.

After determining the type of story you want to write, gather information about everything you are going to include in the story. Thus, one must find effective methods to gather data. However, it must focus on criminal issues to ensure that you stick to the same topics. Primary and secondary sources of information can be helpful in your search. Also, ensure that you get popular and essential data.

With the composed data, one may proceed with research activities. They are important in determining the truth about the data and finding more details about them. You do not have to create a story about something that you are not sure. Research helps to build confidence in readers that they are reading the right and legal materials.

Before you go ahead printing the actual novel, it is imperative first to have a written draft of the data that you have collected. To make this simpler, you may write down all the details of the research on a notebook or a journal as you continue with your study. It enables one to identify missing information and replace them before producing the book.

Another significant factor is including themes in your text. Apart from titles, the subject of the story enables a reader to understand your story better and create memories. Thus adding two or more themes can add to the taste of the reserve. For instance, an author can include a religious or humor theme.

Titles are crucial in every story. Do not miss providing headings. They define your content and stories. However, do not just put a title for the sake of writing. Good titles must show what is in the novel and motivate. Hence, find a heading that suits your content. If you are not good in this, you better ask other proficient authors who can offer you a better title.

Write down the plot of the novel before writing the real script. It has to be in chronological order. It directs readers from one chapter to another. Moreover, if you are writing non-fiction, the name of the characters involved in the offense should be real, and then you can edit and produce your crime write-up.
