They say we all have a novel in us, so why not have a go at writing yours? In this creative writing workshop we’ll be looking at:
What makes a good novel? How and where to find story ideas. Creating memorable characters. The importance of setting. Writing dialogue. And overcoming the dreaded writers block.
There will be lots of writing exercises, so please bring along a notebook and pens. No previous writing experience is required. Come and have some creative fun!
The course will be led by Heidi Stephenson. Heidi has been writing for the past 15 years, as well as working as a television producer and arts administrator.
