A weekend workshop with Vicky Grut and novelist Kathy Page (Orange-Prize-longlisted for her novel ‘The Story of My Face’)

Location: London SE1 9UD (Waterloo or Southwark tube). Group limit: 12.

Using a mix of writing exercises, feedback and focused discussion, we will experiment with story-telling techniques, pace, theme and characterization, as well as exploring different ways of structuring material. We’ll also help you decide whether the story you want to tell works best as fiction or non-fiction. Sunday morning will be set aside for a writing exercise inspired by a specific London location. We will reconvene in the afternoon to hear the resulting pieces of writing, give feedback and share final thoughts.

Workshop times: Saturday 15^th: 10.30am – 5pm. Sunday 16^th: morning for writing; 2pm – 4.30pm for the final session.

Course Fee: £150 includes a booklet of course materials, tea/coffee and a sandwich lunch on Saturday 15^th.
