In this masterclass, you'll look at the techniques great writers use to recraft and finesse their work. Identify the sins of ‘bad’ writing that dilute the ‘wow’ factor, and get tips on how to fix them. Learn how to build a repertoire of editing skills—to avoid further lapses.
This masterclass will include:
Text analysis and understanding of writing elements
Structure, style, POV, characterisation, dialogue, plot, "showing and not telling"
Self-editing techniques
Participants are asked to send samples of their writing (at least 6-8 pages of any genre) before attending the course.
There will be individual feedback for each participant.
