Finding Your First Novel: with Goldsmiths Prize Nominee Mark Bowles

Mark Bowles's debut novel All My Precious Madness was nominated for the Goldsmiths Prize, The Authors’ Club First Novel Award, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and, in its audiobook form, won the fiction category at the Audiobook of the Year Awards.

Mark brings a candid, generous and psychologically acute approach to teaching beginning novelists.

If you have a story but no structure (or vis-a-versa!)
If you’re stuck in the middle (or at the beginning, or you just have an end!)
If you’re lost in fragments and don’t know what to do next…

This workshop will help you find your way.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• How to identify the emotional engine of your novel

• How to gather and connect fragments

• How to create structure without losing voice or mystery

• How to build a sustainable writing rhythm

• How to finish something as large and unruly as a novel.
