David Hagerty

Novelist and Educator

Whether you’re a cop or a teacher, you probably have some experience you think will make a good story. Join us to learn how to:

  • Change anecdotes into art.
  • Use stories from the news as inspiration.
  • Learn what to leave in and what to leave out.
  • Find the angle on a story that is uniquely yours.
  • Use your imagination.

David Hagerty wrote the Duncan Cochrane mystery series, which chronicles crime and dirty politics in Chicago. Real events inspired all four novels, including the murder of a politician’s daughter, a series of sniper killings in the city’s most notorious housing project, the Tylenol poisonings, and the false convictions of ten men on Illinois’ death row.
