This is a masterclass on the principles of successful writing and will look in detail at what makes good fiction. This is not a workshop so you don't bring any work but there will be reading homework beforehand.
The masterclass will cover:
Narrative Structure
Beginnings & Endings
Tension: rise & fall
Character
Dialogue
Sense of Place
What make prose fine or weak?
and much more...
The day will run 10am -4pm and will be for up to ten writers and aspiring writers.
The cost is 60 euros, which includes a sandwich lunch and teas and coffees. Places are limited to 20
attendees only and there will be some reading homework ahead of the masterclass.
This is a non profit making event so apart from a cover for catering all fees go
direct to the author.
