Explore the essentials of storytelling, creating a story as you go, through processes which work for everything from entertaining a three year old to resolving a tricky section of a novel. Whether you've never written before or are deep in your tenth novel, these strategies will give you clear powerful principles for storytelling and creativity.
We need each other, as writers, for encouragement, feedback, and to share the experience. As part of the course, you get FREE membership of The Writers' Greenhouse Community:
This course began life as a taster session to encapsulate 12 years of teaching creative writing. I wanted something that would work for total newbies and also help my most experienced students. I chose the core essentials which everyone needs for stories to work and which I return to most often in my own novels. I added some deeper info on narratives which none of my other courses or workshops cover, chose the practical creative techniques which are the most universally useful, and included my best tips for the process. I hope you enjoy it!
I won't share your email with anyone else. You'll get emails from me only: the latest news on courses and workshops, priority booking for courses and workshops (new workshops fill up especially fast), the opportunity to join writing groups or put up a listing for your own, free writing skills, and new blog posts if you ticked that.
