The biggest challenge
Starting a novel can feel like the biggest challenge – until, that is, you find yourself bogged down in the middle. You are not alone. Through discussion in workshops, individual tutorials and exercises we will look at structure, character, narrative, dialogue and pace. Come prepared to think as much as to write. And to take other people's work as seriously as your own.
