Much like a good photographer, the writer needs to develop an eye (and an I) who can reveal all the hidden layers of meaning in an experience and develop it into a story that is both rich in knowledge and understanding, and satisfying to read. In this workshop we’ll be considering how to find this decisive moment, and consider the difference between writing a situation and a story. The session will equip you to take a decisive moment from your own experience and craft it into the bones of a personal essay.
The session will be a mixture of exercise, example, and discussion. It will be held on Zoom for 2.5 hours, starting at 11am and ending at 1.30pm on Saturday 10th September.
This event is one of three Live Online sessions by Julia on writing Non-Fiction. The others are ‘Experimental Forms‘ and ‘Time Management & Structure‘. You can purchase all three at a discounted price of £100 here.
