Get beyond eye colour and favourite food to dive into what makes your character someone we want to read about. How is your story influenced by their personality? And how can you show the reader who they are?
How do writers create evocative settings and atmosphere in just a few lines? In this workshop, we dive deeper into imaginary worlds and how we can transport our readers to different places, whether a fantasy kingdom or a fast-food restaurant.
More than just a series of events, a story is a journey with highs and lows. How do writers make the tension rise and fall? What are ‘stakes’ and why do they matter?
Edit like a professional! All writers edit and rewrite, but beyond spelling and punctuation, how do you know what to look for? And how can you make your story stronger? Students will need a draft story to bring to this workshop.
