Free Creative Writing Class: Learn The Easiest Way To Tell A Story

Some people think writing is scary, that telling stories is hard, but the reality is, we all have a great story in us, and we should be encouraged to share it. Sometimes, we just need to learn how.

In this workshop, local author Richie Billing shows you one of the simplest and most effective methods of telling captivating and complete stories.

Richie will teach you how to create three-dimensional characters that readers will connect with and follow, and how to craft stories and plots that keep readers hooked.

This class is ideal for new writers and existing writers alike, with the theories of lots of brilliant authors and editors drawn upon to show you the fundamentals of writing in a fresh, accessible way.

A workbook and printout will be provided on the day
