When writing novels in the early noughties, I loved spending time developing characters. Following publication, I was invited to speak at writing conferences, literary festival and run workshops - where I discovered that I love developing writers even more. Twenty years later, my Storysmith course, is the result of that. Storysmith covers all aspects of the art and craft of telling stories for writers - from the dreaded writers block that tries to trip you at the first hurdle, through conflict, plot and structure, voice and narration, characters and their roles, setting and endings. This first workshop is a whistle-stop tour through everything ‘Storysmithery’, a pilot session that aims to help you identify your writing fragilities and how we might go about addressing them. Let’s build your confidence and bolster your enthusiasm, whether you are trying to craft the perfect short story or write the perfect chapter of an epic novel.

Write Your Way - Creative Writing School

Write Your Way is an online Creative Writing School. In partnership with Goldfinch Books, an independent bookshop in the heart of Hampshire, we organise free and paid workshops, seminars, masterclasses and courses covering every aspect of writing.

Our tutors and speakers are the best in their fields, and our mission is to deliver high quality content to aspiring authors from any type of background. Underrepresented, low-income, or simply motivated writers too busy with their day job to make writing a priority will all find something for them.
