Crafting the Story Workshop Course
I’m now running a writing for children workshop course developing work in progress – picture books, middle grade or young adult. The small course (maximum 12 participants) will run for 8 weeks through weekly 2 hour Zoom workshops (Tuesdays from 7 – 9pm). Each session we share two or three pieces of writing from participants and everyone is encouraged to feedback, before I bring reactions together and offer my own thoughts. The emphasis is on concise and constructive criticism in a friendly and supportive environment. I believe that honing critical acumen is an important aspect of developing as a writer – as is having the opportunity to share your work with fellow writers. Each week has an accompanying writing prompt for writing encouragement. Also included is a one-to-one tutorial for each participant when they most need it. The next course will run from Tuesday 28 April.
