KICK-START YOUR WRITING PROJECT!

 Sunday September 19 - Friday October 1st

(it is possible to do the first week only - ask info here )

Do you have a novel or memoir you've always been meaning to write? Come on our twelve day workshop and learn how to plot it and plan it.

In the first week we'll consider how to-

-get yourself started, deciding where to begin to gain the readers' interest

-create real characters able to walk off the page

-construct a page-turning plot

-make use of humour and tension

-write dialogue that's convincing

-build up towards a climax with a satisfying conclusion.

In the second week we'll move on to planning our personal projects, with daily seminars for-

-discussing an over view of what we hope to achieve

-fine-tuning our basic ideas to make a strong story line

-dividing our work into sections

-constructing chapter outlines            

-committing ourselves to a time-scale for getting our first draft completed.

Participants will gain useful feedback from having their work discussed in the group. But as an optional extra, you are welcome to to book personal tutorials to discuss your work in more depth.

Available after the workshop -  Philip is able to offer you regular back-up on-line, reading work and making suggestions to strengthen your work in progress.
