PAST LIVES FICTION WORKSHOP
Saturday, 22nd August, 2009
10.00 a.m. – 4.00 p.m.
This day workshop uses either your own memories or local folk tales, (material supplied) to inspire spine tingling page turners through a series of exercises, readings and discussions.
The emphasis will be on fictionalising historical characters and events to help you produce competition winning fiction through a series of exercises, discussions and readings of your own work.
By the end of the day you should be well on the way to creating an awarding winning short story!
Don’t worry if you’ve never written fiction before, Past Lives Fiction Workshop is suitable for adults of all abilities.
All you need to join us are writing materials and bags of enthusiasm!
Cost: £30 including lunch
