About this Event

Ever felt like you're wading through treacle as you plod through your novel? Want to know what it takes to craft a page turner of a story?

We'll be covering the five act structure, chatting about the Hero's Journey, touching on the Save The Cat method and talking about the seven point structure in detail.

Ideal for debut writers, anyone stuck part way through their first novel or anyone who'd like to tighten up their writing.
