About this Event
Whether new to creative writing or a seasoned author, this workshop explores/revisits the key elements and ingredients necessary to write a rich and compelling story; i.e., it focuses on what makes a story sparkle and the techniques to deliver that, which absolutely apply to both short story and novel writing.
Working on either your own idea or one of the provided story prompts, we focus on building your story throughout the day, harnessing a solid structure you can apply to future stories.
Plus, we explore mechanisms to create ideas, and, as a group, we discuss each of the ingredients we need to work on, utilising these exercises to develop our plots, structure, characters, locations, backstories, rising tension, plot twists and a whole host more.
We then utilise dedicated blocks of time for you to write your stories, focusing on building the drama (relevant to the story/genre) through each clearly-defined stage; the aim being to complete your story by the end of the day. And there's nothing like being in the company of fellow-writers to really get creative!
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.
Reviews: "Such an exciting day which really kickstarted my writing. So much fun, and in my favourite part of London!" Sarah, Oxford.
"This workshop is a game changer. It opened my eyes to everything that's required to write a full, rich book. I learn best by actually doing it, rather than being in a classroom. Superb!' Ryan, Bromley.

Best wishes & happy writing!
