The course was curated by Dr. Mark Aldridge, Michelle Kazmer, Gray Robert Brown and Jamie Bernthal-Hooker.<\/p>\n<p>James Prichard, Agatha Christie\u2019s great-grandson, chairman and CEO of Agatha Christie Limited, said: \u201cThe team of academics and researchers that BBC Maestro has assembled have extracted from a number of her writings an extraordinary array of her views and opinions on how to write. Through this course, you truly will receive a lesson in crafting a masterful mystery, in Agatha\u2019s very own words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BBC Maestro CEO Michael Levine added: \u201cAs a lifelong fan of Agatha Christie, bringing this course to life has been a dream come true, and I am immensely proud of it. Agatha Christie\u2019s BBC Maestro course on Writing invites anyone and everyone who adores Agatha Christie\u2019s writing to learn through her own words, exactly how she does it; her background, her inspirations, her craft and the lessons she learnt along the way. BBC Maestro was established to offer the next generation of talent a way to get started, to learn, not from teachers, but from those who have done it themselves. To be inspired by learning from the greatest.
