Story Structure 101

An online masterclass focusing on story structure

Saturday 20th April 2023 9:30am-1:30pm

In this creative writing workshop, we'll examine traditional story structures, including the hero's journey and three act structure. You'll be given space to explore how to apply these to your own work. You'll find out how to enjoy plotting, playing with structure and how to use it to build tension, to engage, surprise and delight your readers.

This day is ideal if you:

• want to get to grips with the shape of your stories.
• want to understand how you can use narrative structure as a supportive tool
• are keen to work on fiction or memoir
• are excited about getting new (or old!) stories sorted.
  

There will be time for writing built into the day, as well as opportunities to collaborate, share and enjoy each other's work.

Writers at all stages of their journey are welcome. Suitable for new writers as well as those with
novels to their names.

Booking essential.
