Let’s face it: first drafts are meant to be a bit crap. That’s why they’re called first drafts. When faced with the next step, many writers feel disheartened and overwhelmed – some may even give up completely – but when you approach the redrafting process with a creative attitude and a set of practical editing skills, it can be the most exciting part of writing a novel.

 

During this hands-on workshop you will learn about developing structure, plotting techniques, characterisation, and different approaches to editing, as well as having the opportunity to discuss and brainstorm your plot with a small group of writers. By the end of the session you should have a solid plan for your next draft and the resources you need to get your manuscript to the submission stage!
