We're offering this popular workshop with Joanna Courtney again due to high demand.

Most budding writers come to their work with ideas for characters, for settings and perhaps for a core hook – an inciting incident that has sparked their imagination and that they burn to write about. That’s wonderful, but what is needed next is a plot to provide the bones on which to place all that glorious flesh. A strong plot, in any genre and length of fiction, is the spine of the piece and it’s vital that the writer nails it. This online workshop, led by a widely published local novelist who writes both historical fiction as Joanna Courtney and contemporary fiction as Anna Stuart and Jo Wilde, will give you practical, market-focused tips to help you do just that. Covering both short stories and novels, it will take you through the nuts and bolts of both writing and editing a well-plotted story that will hook readers and, therefore, publishers.
