In this creative writing workshop you will learn what psychic distance is, how it can bring your writing to the next level, and – most importantly – how to put it into practice.
Psychic distance is a technique that many published writers swear by, and rave about to anyone who will listen. By learning to vary the psychic distance in your writing you will engage your reader more successfully and lift the quality of your prose. It might sound complicated but it really isn’t, and once you’ve mastered it you will never look back.
The workshop will include some demonstration and discussion, followed by some writing exercises to put the learning into practice.
Susan Allott is a critically acclaimed author whose debut novel, The Silence, was published internationally by HarperCollins in 2020 and was longlisted for the Crime Writers Association New Blood Dagger Award.
