Fantasy Writing Course Announcement

Hello! Hope you are having a lovely autumn!

Just to let you know of an exciting opportunity coming up very soon.

✨✨STARTING 2nd NOVEMBER✨✨

As you may well know, I love writing stories full of magic and fantasy, from picture books about magical wellies to chaotic magical Houses in Victorian England to high fantasy worlds of elves, wraiths and orcs. So I'm VERY excited to offer this 3-week course on Writing Fantasy & Magic for Children (from picture books to YA) starting on Monday 2nd November.

Fantasy and magic is one of the strongest genres in children’s fiction – it’s timeless, universal, and agents, publishers and readers love it!

Come and join me if you can to explore the world of magic and fantasy - it's going to be great fun and packed full of tips and inspiration, whichever age you write for.

We'll be looking at:

⭐What makes a good fantasy story?
⭐Exploration of genre and sub-genre
⭐Creating magical worlds
⭐Comedy and fantasy
⭐Creating fantastical characters
⭐World-jumping for beginners
⭐Magic and logic
⭐Suspension of disbelief
⭐Sprinkling magic into your story

I appreciate finances can be difficult for people, especially at the moment, so I've tried to make it accessible at £41 (plus Eventbrite fee).

All sessions will be recorded if you can’t make all or any of the classes live. They will be available for a limited time afterwards.

Writing for Children: Fantasy and Magic (3wks) Tickets, Monday 2 November  •  7 PM - 8 PM GMT | Eventbrite

✨Hope to see you there! ✨

With writerly magic,

Amy
