WORKSHOPS
I'm running three standalone workshops on writing junior fiction - Saturdays in February, 3.30-5.30 GMT, $20/about £14.50. I would LOVE to see your faces/your friends/your nan.
Bringing Characters to Life, 6th Feb
We will learn how the concept of a ‘character game’, used in improvised theatre, can help you produce unforgettable characters. Although the emphasis will be on examples from junior fiction, all writers who struggle with characters that ‘sound the same’ are welcome!
The Power of Playing Games, 13th Feb
The concept of ‘game’, in comedy, is anything that happens more than once; and if played well, games are laugh-out-loud funny. Learn to master this tool for humour, and use it to trouble shoot common problems such as time jumps, crowd scenes, exposition and more.
Settings that Stick, 20th Feb
An enthralling setting is key to children’s fiction, and can even become fodder for daydreams and games once the book is closed. What gives some imaginary worlds this power? With a focus on middle childhood (6-12 years), this workshop will give you tools to create mesmerizing worlds for young readers.
All morning meetings are 9.30 - 11.30 GMT
