Get inspired. Craft a short story.

Service Description

In this workshop we will take an imaginative walk through a familiar landscape, recalling memories related to place to craft a short story. Using psychogeography as a well-established literary technique, you will be directed to create impactful new work. With reference to classic literature, we will experiment with free-form writing, and explore the ways in which grammar, structure and editing generate literary style. This taster workshop will provide a starting point from which to develop and refine your short story idea in your own time. Suitable for Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced. Objectives: You will take away new perspectives, inspiration, and the tools to communicate effectively through short story writing. Required Materials: Bring a pen and writing paper - you will be busy!
