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 a full, rich and compelling story, to make your writing sparkle and to deliver the very best reader experience possible.

No matter your chosen genre (crime, sci-fi, romance, a memoir), the lessons taught will allow your writing to form the deep bonds and connections required to hook your reader and keep those pages turning.

You don’t need to have a story idea to participate, as I can supply, via a host of prompts, numerous scenarios to get you creating. And you will develop that idea through the day, until, by the end of the workshop, you will have created your very own story via a solid, definable structure featuring a protagonist, a location, a set up, a plot twist and an ending.

With comprehensive accompanying notes, this workshop makes for a wonderfully creative, insightful and fun day that will take your writing to the next level. And there’s nothing like being in the company of fellow creatives to inspire and achieve your writing goals.
