After eleven years directing our flagship Writing a Novel course, helping over a hundred students gain publication deals, Richard Skinner has developed our new series of ten masterclasses.

Covering the essential elements of fiction in his fullest, most impactful workshops, this series is perfect if you’re looking to sharpen your skills, improve particular elements of your writing, or aren’t able to commit to one of our longer courses.

For many writers, character is the holy grail, but what is it? To answer this elusive question, we come at character via their name, possessions, existential situation and action.

The course will take place on Zoom, using a mix of teaching and discussion time with practical exercises to get you writing.

Date: Monday 4 July 2022, 18.30–21.00
