Creative Writing; Narrative creation and the Writers journey

Are you looking for creative writing classes and workshops where you can unlock your potential as a storyteller? Then sign up for one ofmy creative writing classes and discover some of the tricks writers use to weave their tales.

In other words, if you want to write the next Game of Thrones saga, the thrilling North-by-Northwest, insightful Pride and Prejudice, or revolutionary Hunger Games, studying narrative crafting will strengthen your story, and bring you greater creative satisfaction.

More than that, studying the art of creative writing will give you a greater understanding of how and why stories are written the way they are. You’ll gain a deeper appreciation for how skillfully written narratives can inspire, provoke, and even inform.

Learn and master the art of creating a flowing narrative - whether for that short story, a novel, or just to tell your own life's tale. Being able to cohesively tell a story is highly satisfying, and it also increases your general communication skills - great for those interpersonal relationships at work and at home!

These class can be taken one module at a time, or as a whole, so you can choose which areas you'd like to focus on, or complete the entire creative process.

There are 12 topics you will cover during the course (together with weekly writing exercises), and they are included in these module headings:

Introduction to Creative Writing:
~ Identifying creative writing, and how to find inspiration
~ Characters; building them and their journey
~ Point-of-View and Exposition
~ Plot; narrative mapping so you don't get lost

Developing your Narrative
~ Timing; how a story is told and how to create your 'acts'
~ Dialogue; what and how to say it
~ Genre and devices; the tools of your character's adventure
~ Get the picture; unfolding your scenes

Workshop your Manuscript
~ Editing & Proofreading; pulling apart your work to make it better
~ Document layout and formatting
~ The rewrite; honing your narrative
~ Feedback; give/receive constructive and critical feedback

Exploring Publication
~ Print vs ebook; clash of the publishing titans
~ Agent vs self publishing; which should you choose
~ Agents and Publishers; how to approach them and sell your work
~ Self publishing; identifying your publishing needs

Private 1:1 workshops and feedback are also available!
