Via comprehensive worksheets (supplied, with clipboards to lean on), you will be taken through the following topics, with opportunities to ask questions at each stage. (As you’ll appreciate, numbers of questions are somewhat limited due to the number of attendees and time constraints to cover all the content.)

The initial idea - where we take it from there?

Building a structured plot, layering in rising tension, drama and jeopardy

Plot twists and pace

Character development & backstory

Descriptions

Locations and research

Writer’s work ethic

How to get published

You will visit the key elements and ingredients necessary to write a rich and compelling story; i.e., what makes a story work and sparkle; the techniques for which are equally applicable to both short stories and novel writing.

Please note - due to time constraints and the number of attendees, it may not be possible for you to complete your story. However, you WILL leave with a concrete understanding of the creative process and how to build the framework for any story, adding plot points and twists as you go.

The core aim of this workshop is to provide you with the tools necessary in building a sound plot, structure and story; i.e., to delivering the very best reader experience possible.
