Join writer and tutor Dominic from Creative Writer UK for a full-day workshop designed to get words flowing—whether you’re a total beginner or deep into a draft.
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 have a story idea to take part. There'll be prompts, and multiple scenarios on the day to get you thinking. This workshop develops that idea through the day through writing exercises. By the end of the day, you will have created your very own story using 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. And there’s nothing like being in the company of fellow creatives to inspire you to achieve your writing goals.
