All pieces of writing need a shape or some kind of organising principle to contain the ideas. But how do we know which form works best for our work, our voice, and particularly for the story we’re telling? How does content dictate form and vice versa? What can we learn from other writers about form and the principles of good story structure? Do we need a form before we set out or does one become evident along the way? Whether you’re working in fiction or non-fiction, this workshop will offer practical advice, close reading, and an opportunity to try some exercises, and will help you to think about techniques for structuring your work.
The session will be a mixture of exercise, example, and discussion. It will be held on Zoom for 2.5 hours, 11am – 1.30pm UTC+0 on Saturday 18th November.
