Location: The Writers Workshop, Sheffield
Tutor: Lorna Partington
This event is the first of five interactive workshops designed to improve your language craft and your understanding of key grammar principles. Suitable for creative writers (fiction and nonfiction), the session will include writing and editing exercises.
This session will focus on sentences.
Novelist Janet Fitch says, "Write the sentences, not just the story … "
As a copy editor, I can confirm that writers too often forget to pay attention to their sentences, which can end up ungrammatical, confusing, or superfluous! So, join me in going back to basics, exploring the 4 types of structure, how to break the sentence rules effectively, and how to construct a great paragraph. Read more about the session on the blog.
The other sessions on language craft in this series are (dates TBC):
Words
Punctuation
Tone
Flair
You'll get 50% off the last session if you've attended the previous four.
