Workshop Outline
The first draft of your story is only a rough sketch which is the beginning of its journey. To polish it till it gleams you will need to do several more edits. In these two sessions you will discover how to shape your work in stages, from the macro (concept and structure) to the micro (language and punctuation.)
This course is ideal for anyone who has work in progress, but also for those who are keen for their stories to reach their full potential.
TOPICS COVERED
- How to edit in progressive stages.
- The key questions to ask about your story as you revise it.
- How to turn your language and characters from acceptable to unforgettable.
This workshop is run by Budding Writers in partnership with The Writers Bureau.
Workshop Leader
Tony Kirwood
Tony writes fiction, articles and comedy sketches. Much of his work is humorous although sometimes it's scary. Sometimes it's both. His non-scary book How To Write Comedy was cited by the Stage Newspaper as the best training book of the year. He’s had stories in the fantasy genre published and read out. His column The Blog of Samuel Pepys appeared regularly in The Greenwich Visitor paper.
Tony teaches creative writing, comedy writing, comedy appreciation and drama in colleges and venues across the country. He tutors regular classes at Richmond and Hillcroft Adult Community College in South London. He has also led workshops at literary festivals and similar events.
