Details

It is suitable for people at any stage of a writing project and includes plenty of practise opportunities, as well as a framework which will empower participants to continue to build their expertise and confidence with plotting after the workshop.

You will learn

  • the three sides of the plot ‘triangle’: who? what? and why?
  • the elements of a scene and how scenes push the plot forward
  • the relationship between character and plot
  • how to create a plot outline for your story using a six-point story arc structure
  • how to create a one-sentence summary ideal for ‘pitching’ to agents and publishers.
