Writers Workshop
|
New term: Mon 17 Sept -25 Nov (excluding 26 Oct) This class is for writers who have writing projects underway. The workshop offers the opportunity to gain valuable feedback and to read and critique the work of others. Each week three or four writers submit up to 3,000 words, to be read ahead of class. In the workshop we discuss what works, what doesn't work, and how the piece can be improved, focusing on characterisation, point of view, writing scenes, narrative structure, and the basic elements of good, clear prose. Students will be asked to complete a questionnaire at the start of term to outline their project and what they hope to achieve by the end of the course. The course is bolstered by visits from published authors and agents, which have so far included authors Natalie Young, Carol Topolski, Natasha Soobramanien, Zelda Rhiando, agents Sophie Lambert of the Tibor Jones agency and Jemima Hunt from The Writers Practice and Vicky Blunden from independent publisher Myriad Editions. |
