Who is it for?
Great for:
-
anyone new to writing stories, novels or memoir who wants to give their work some shape
-
writers with a completed first draft or work in progress that needs nudging into a more coherent narrative structure
-
anyone who has an idea for a story, novel or memoir but doesn’t quite know how to make it work
-
writers who struggle with plotting (aka pantsers!)
"An opportunity to learn the rules of storytelling, dig into some examples and come away with the strategies to write your own tales in a way that is satisfying for readers. Plus a great forum for some free writing and sharing work in an informal way." - Natalie​
