November 28, 2020
10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Do you have a story you’re burning to tell but don’t know how to tackle it? Whether fiction, memoir or narrative based non-fiction, you’ll learn how to centre a story around a point of view character, tying plot, character and theme together to create a unified whole.
Day One will be all about exploring structure, character and voice through writing exercises.
Day Two will workshop the ideas developed in Day One, and provide the steps needed to carry the project forwards to a successful conclusion.
