Make your characters leap off the page and resonate with readers. This fun, productive workshop will help you create believable protagonists, antagonists and all other characters that make up your stories.
Keep readers glued to your pages and avoid the dreaded ‘story-wandering’ by mastering the essential elements of plot and structure. In this workshop you’ll learn how to write compelling prose and poetry that keeps readers on an exciting journey of discovery.
It’s important to keep readers immersed in your story and sometimes, unbelievable dialogue can pull them out of it. Ensure readers continue turning those pages by mastering this essential skill and have fun making your characters talk to each other.
The best stories sweep readers into a literary world, enabling them to experience the struggles and dreams of characters they’ve never met. This workshop will teach you how to do this, whether you’re a regular writer or complete beginner.
You may be looking to better structure your writing practice, gain industry/reader exposure, win an award or perhaps even go viral. You might be hoping to attract an agent, publisher or mentor. Writing for competition can help you get closer to all of these goals.
