In October 2011 Sue will be running a series of workshops on the nuts & bolts of writing and getting published.

1st October WRITE NOW
An introduction to writing mainstream popular fiction.
How to find ideas. How to create real characters. Lots of fun, tips, hints, ideas and encouragement to get you writing and published!

8th October OPENINGS
Taking a close look at opening paragraphs, opening pages and how to encourage your reader – be it agent, publisher or punter browsing in Smiths - to read on.

Participants are asked to bring along the first 3 pages (A4, double spaced, no more than 1000 words) of their own writing to workshop

15th October THE PLOT'S THE THING

To plot is a verb – but for some people it can be a total nightmare.

We'll be looking at what they are, what they do, how to find them, what they need to make them work, we’ll find the people, the places and as much conflict as we need and then working as a group plot a masterpiece!

Places are limited to 12 people per course and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis
Workshops run from 10am – 4pm and will be held in Downham Market. Norfolk . Each course is a standalone workshop.

Price £35.00 per person per day. Or £95.00 if you book all of them.
