Fiction Writing Workshop: Bringing your words to life

With Kathryn Heyman

Whether you're working on fiction or non-fiction, this workshop will help you find tools to breathe life into your writing. You'll learn new ways of creating detail and making the reader feel that they are in your world, and discover the tools for creating the structure to hold the book together. At the end of the morning, you'll know what you need to do to make your book sing. ​
