Book detail

Forensic Science for Writers reveals the secrets behind forensic science technology. But, it’s not just about science. Readers will learn how to use forensics to create plot twists, and they’ll see how best-selling authors successfully incorporated forensic science in their stories. Readers will also learn common misconceptions about forensic analysis that plague films and novels – the types of errors that writers want to avoid. 

This book is based upon an online course that was offered through colleges and other organizations. More than 800 students took the course, including writers, schoolteachers, law enforcement personnel, and attorneys. “As an already successful writer,” one student said, “I am sure I will refer to these lessons over the coming years as I continue to write novels.”

Forensic Science for Writers: It’s for writers, not dummies.
