Who should tell your story — and how much should your reader believe them?
Join bestselling psychological thriller author Alex Stone for this live, interactive two-hour masterclass exploring narrative voice, point of view and one of the psychological thriller’s most powerful devices: the unreliable narrator.
During the session, you’ll:
- Explore how to decide who should tell your story
- Consider the strengths and challenges of first and third person
- Explore single and multiple viewpoints and how they affect the reader’s experience
- Develop a distinctive narrative voice that suits your character and story
- Examine the opportunities and challenges of using an unreliable narrator
- Consider what your narrator knows, believes, reveals — and chooses to hide
Whether you’re deciding how to tell a new story or questioning the viewpoint of a novel already underway, you’ll be able to apply the session to your own work and ask questions along the way.
Thursday 12 November 2026 | 7–9pm UK time | Live online via Google Meet
Also included: Writers’ Hub
Your booking also gives you access to the Author Events Writers’ Hub — an informal live online hour where you can ask questions, discuss how you’re applying the teaching to your own novel, and connect with Alex and other writers.
