Improving your skills
How to make your novel as good as it can be. Through workshops, exercises and discussion, we'll explore aspects of the craft, including story structure, character and dialogue. You'll come away with new skills and a keener sense of what's working in your novel, what's not, and how to fix it. Students are encouraged to bring works in progress.
This course is fully booked. Please call the centre if you would like to be put on the waiting list or to discuss other courses.
