Whether you’re 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.
You don’t need to come with an idea for a story to participate, as Dominic can supply prompts, numerous scenarios to get you creating. This workshop develops that idea until you have created your 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 inspiring day that will take your writing to the next level.

Testimonials
Such an exciting day which really kickstarted my writing. And so much fun!
Sarah, Oxford
I’m a beginner, so the best part for me was coming away with a check-list reminder of what I should include: structure, plot, drama, narrative, dialogue, descriptions etc. Highly recommend this, and Dominic’s enthusiasm is infectious.
Zelda, Chislehurst
I love the film-like pre-production work we did as a group, building our characters and plots as we went, which sparked wonderful backstories. Thank you so much, Dominic.
Deepika, Wandsworth
