Many an amazing story has died on the page because of dry, poorly-structured writing. You don’t just want your written stories to communicate the facts, you want them to leap off the page with colour and emotional detail.
This session will help you craft stories that captivate your reader.
We will cover:
Choosing the right style for your story
This session will explore the different styles of written stories available to you and which work best for difference audiences and purposes.
Structure
How to hook people into your story using different structural devices, creating headlines and standfirsts, using subheadings and pull quotes.
Emotion and colour
Tips for showing the storyteller’s personality, drawing out emotion and dramatic arcs without sensationalising, addressing challenging storylines sensitively, and things to avoid in your writing.
There will be practical writing exercises throughout this course so attendees will need access to a Word programme. As well as the practical exercises during the training, attendees will be able to access feedback on one completed story after their training course.
This can be booked a standalone course or it is part four of our Storytelling Masterclass.
