Creative Writing Masterclass: from idea to story

Without some structure, creative writing can feel directionless. You have the urge to write but you don't know what, or how. Or maybe you have always wanted to write a book but have no idea where to begin. Maybe you have been working on something for ages but find yourself stuck.

Join multi-award winning writer and facilitator Monika Radojevic to workshop how to turn your idea into a story - and how to overcome common issues that crop up along the way.

This will be an interactive session, focusing on the storytelling essentials: plot, character and conflict. Through a combination of guided exercises and teaching, you will learn how to develop a good idea into an even better story. Perfect for those working on creative writing projects or wanting to learn the basics of solid writing.

Bring: curiosity, an idea, pen and paper
