How to fudge forensics and how to get away with it.
Have you ever wondered if coroners really eat sandwiches while doing autopsies?  Or if wearing a low cut dress and high heels to the scene of a crime is sanitary? Walk away knowing when to authenticate or fabricate your crime fiction.
During this interactive seminar we'll explore 10 common forensic follies you see in print, TV, and movies! And, Jennifer will take things a step further and explain the real life forensic fact behind every forensic fabrication… And why these forensic shortcuts are necessary.  
And, she will share her top 10 tips from currently working TV writers about how to fudge the forensics while still making your story believable and entertaining.​
