BRING YOUR WRITING TO LIFE_WITH KATHRYN HEYMAN_
DISCOVER TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES TO MAKE YOUR PROSE COME ALIVE.
Rich, luscious writing is writing which has life in it - life on the
page, and the life in the writing of it. In this one-day workshop for
passionate writers, we’ll explore ways of making your words and
characters sing. How do you make a character seem alive? How do you
create a sense of place which is convincing? And how do you keep the
sense of life and joy in your writing process?
Whether you’re working on short stories, a novel or a memoir, this
inspiring class will help you find new ways into your writing. Using
practical exercises, you’ll dream up scenes, play with images and
flesh out characters. You’ll also learn how to boost productivity
and find real joy in your writing.
Led by acclaimed novelist Kathryn Heyman, this inspiring class will
help you discover your characters and find what you need to write on,
with joy.
