The Essence of Fiction
How do you get started? How do you keep going? Our workshops and tutorials will look at character, dialogue, plot and structure within a fun and supportive atmosphere. We'll be able to talk about what you put in and what you leave out, and how you revise the whole thing when you've finished.
