Writing Fiction: Narrative

This one-off workshop will look at the narrative “beats” of fiction writing and show you how to make sure your work hits them all.

Through a series of structured exercises, you will explore the basics of narrative structure, looking at how successful authors use this in their work, and then apply it to a piece of original creative writing in class.

Narrative structure doesn’t have to be scary!

Make sure yours is working for you.

Suitable for beginners and more experienced writers wanting to focus on a specific aspect of their practice.
