The Craft HouseBradford, West Yorkshire

Overview

Join Amazon bestselling author and editor Alyson Faye, who will teach you techniques and tips to start your creative writing journey.

This two hour workshop will be led by The Craft House’s creative writing tutor, Alyson Faye.*

Alyson will teach you techniques and tips to start your creative writing journey, whether that is poetry, flash fiction, short stories, in longer writing, or memoir. The emphasis is on finding your writing voice and having fun.

In the workshop we will use visual and audio prompts, a selection of found objects, and short writing exercises, including how to enrich our writing by utilising the Five Senses. We will talk about methods on how to find your fictional characters, tips on choosing a point of view, and the use of personal memories.

There will be an opportunity to read and share your work as well as work in pairs, and receive, if wished, some tutorial feedback in the session.

There will be takeaway print outs full of top tips and future pathways to help to keep you writing, also lists of sites and magazines you can reference and some discussion of basic editing pointers.

Price is £25 per person.
