Narrative Modes: Action & Exposition

When we write, we move between five narrative modes: action, exposition, dialogue, interiority and description.

In the first of 3 masterclasses, you'll explore action and exposition. What are these modes? When is it best to deploy them? How can we best engage the reader using these modes?

In this class, you'll be learning key principles, discussing examples from great writers, and having a go at writing in these narrative modes.

The other two masterclasses:

• Dialogue and interiority: Saturday, November 30
• Description: Sunday, December 15

Each class is designed to stand alone.

Please note:

• The Writers Workshop is not wheelchair accessible and has only partial lift access (via Waterstones).
• Refunds cannot be given unless your ticket can be resold.
