This creative writing workshop is suitable for beginners, writers with projects underway or those looking for a fresh injection of inspiration. It is perfect for all genres and also those wishing to write short stories.
Workshop description: Whether new to creative writing or a seasoned author, this workshop focuses on exploring and practising (via writing exercises) the key ingredients necessary to bring together to write full, rich and compelling prose, to make your writing sparkle and to deliver the very best reader experience possible.
No matter your chosen genre (be it crime, sci-fi, romance, a biography), the lessons taught will allow your writing to form the deep bonds and connections required to hook your reader and keep those pages turning, creating a delicious momentum as your story builds towards its conclusion.
In fiction writing, we’re creating a literary experience relevant to the genre in which we’re writing. Our readers want escapism; they want to be entertained, gripped, thrilled, moved emotionally (again, relevant to our chosen genre). And so, by learning the techniques and triggers to deliver that, we will be well on our way to creating truly memorable work.
You don’t need to have a story idea to participate, as I also supply a selection of story prompts to get you creating; an idea we develop through the day until, come 5pm, you will have created your very own story, featuring a protagonist, a location, a set up, a plot twist and an ending.
With comprehensive accompanying notes, this workshop commences by the fabulous clock tower at the entrance to the iconic Palace Pier.
In summary: It is always a wonderfully creative, insightful and inspiring day that will take your writing to the next level. And there’s nothing like being in the company of fellow-creatives to inspire you to achieve your writing goals.
Some of the key elements you will learn:
Structure
Character
Location
Dramatic event
Reaction to dramatic event
Resolution
Plotting, plot twists & pace
Plus, you will gain insights into the delivery of your story, creating the very best reader experience possible.
