Location: The Writers Workshop
Tutors: Susan Elliot Wright and Russ Thomas
This intensive Masterclass with bestselling authors Russ Thomas and Susan Elliot Wright takes a fascinating look at how to construct scenes in your novel.
How do you convey your characters’ feelings, thoughts and emotions in a convincing way? This Masterclass will help you to decide when (and how) to ‘show’, and when it’s okay to ‘tell’.
We’ll help you learn the art of crafting scenes, employing revelatory dialogue, internal monologue, and dynamic action to deepen your characters’ motivations and advance your story.
You'll be encouraged to discuss your ideas and thoughts throughout the day in a comfortable, friendly and supportive environment with two experienced professionals who know the publishing industry and how to write books that catch the attention of agents, publishers and readers.
The session will run from 10.00am until 4.30pm with a break for lunch (lunch not provided).
While designed to work as a standalone session, this is one in a series of informative and comprehensive novel-writing Masterclasses, designed to give you the tools you need to make real progress on your novel.
