The Writers' Lab
You have a great idea for a novel, a short story, a play, a film script. You’ve written the first few pages or even a couple of chapters. The idea is exciting and instinctively you know this is a story worth telling. Yet, you find yourself stuck. You read a couple of ‘how to’ books or a bunch of online articles with tips… but the road ahead remains dark. If that’s you, then join The Writers’ Lab! It is a series of weekly workshops designed to help you • test an idea and create a roadmap so you won’t get lost in the woods • choose the right POV for your short story or novel and develop your unique narrative style • discover how to reveal strong characters and build the plot • get a better understanding of the Aristotelian model and consider variations for your play or screenplay • practice a number of techniques for engaging dialogue, description, narration • learn how to do research and how to read other authors’ work • master the art of editing The Writers’ Lab will give you all the tools you need to use obstacles to your advantage and go from idea to finished work.
