Faber Academy: How to Tell a Story
Mon 13 Jan 2020 to Fri 17 Jan 2020
Join us for a ground breaking five day course that promises to give writers a new understanding of their craft, based on the book The Science of Storytelling by bestselling author and novelist Will Storr.

How To Tell A Story is an accessible course that reveals the brain’s inherent story-making processes and turns them into solid, practical principles that should benefit writers of all levels of experience. It will help you create compelling and cliché-free characters who create their own plots that don’t rely on standard story structures.

How To Tell A Story is focussed not just on theory but on practical advice. It will give attendees fresh ways of thinking about many aspects of technique, including characterisation, plotting, dialogue, subtext, antagonists and endings.

Morning lectures and discussions give way to afternoon workshop sessions during which attendees will work on their own stories using How To Tell A Story principles.

Over the course of the week, Will Storr will introduce his unique ‘Sacred Flaw Approach’ for creating character-driven stories.

14 places available.

Dates: 13 - 17 January 2020, 10am-4pm (The course is divided into four days. A midweek fifth day is devoted to a guest speaker.)
Location: Bloomsbury House,74-44 Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DA
Cost: £550
