Are you ready for the next level? Following on from Victoria Gosling and Jane Flett’s acclaimed Kickstart Your Writing course, this 2-day writers’ bootcamp will focus on the building blocks of creative writing in a supportive, fun and inspiring environment. The course will feature all new writing exercises based on developing your writing practice and craft-based sessions that explore crucial elements to writing compelling fiction. On Saturday, alongside exploring the role setting plays in your work, we’ll also be digging deeper into characterisation.
