Celine Kiernan is running a workshop this weekend.
Sat 29th & Sun 30th September: 10.30am to
4.30pm, €150/€135 members
This exciting and intensive
two-day course will be ideal for aspiring and already practising fantasy fiction
writers. The first day will cover the problems and techniques of building
imaginary worlds and how to make them believable. Key to this is the question of
style and how language is used to express the fantastical. Methods and
contrasting techniques of character description will also be explored, and
students will be given writing exercises in the class to develop their strengths
in both these areas.
The second day will cover the
process and business of writing. Attendees will be encouraged to discuss their
approaches to date and the successes and pitfalls they encountered along the
way. Finally, the practical issues of how to find a publisher or an agent for
your finished work will be covered in step-by-step detail, from writing your
first query letter to what to expect once you've sold your manuscript. This will
be an all-encompassing two-day course and should prove to be supremely
beneficial to anyone interested in writing fantasy fiction.
