Lancelot Link: Novelties

Lancelot Link Monday! This week's links begin and end with Hitchcock, but in between are several links about the art of mystery and horror writing, with all kinds of tips from some of the top writers in the field... who are long dead! But their advice still works, right? Also a link to an article about self publishing novels, which tends to get a bit wonkish... but if you start with the bullet points you'll get most of the important information. So, maybe you you try writing a mystery novel? While you're considering that, here are this week's links to some great screenwriting and film articles, plus some fun stuff that may be of interest to you.
