Master Class

ThrillerFest 2027 will include two Master Class options:

– Master Class 1.0, for authors of all levels who wish to take their project to the next level with a small, full-day class taught by a bestselling author, including a critique of the participants’ writing samples. Learn more here.

– Master Class 2.0, for active ITW members who have published at least one novel of at least 80K words and who are eager to meet the challenges of a growing career – to raise the bar, up their game, and grow in technique, imagination, and skill, maybe even change genres. Sessions are four hours, plus the student’s manuscript sample will be analyzed and critiqued by one of the most experienced writing coaches in the ITW community. Learn more here.
