Need to Write That Story!
Join me on this five-week course where we will take the central nugget of your story, decide what sort of story it is – a full novel, creative non-fiction piece, memoir essay or flash. We’ll think about theme, narration, point of view and style – and we will also look at ways to structure. Each week’s workshop will feature a combination of content presentation combined with practical writing exercises and writing time.
