WRITING WITH A PURPOSE
A one-day creative writing workshop with Brian Leyden
In this all-day writing workshop Brian Leyden will be looking again at the art and craft of writing. His aim will be to help you write with a personal sense of purpose by exploring the merits of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. And when we talk about story, what do we mean by genre, theme, voice, style, plot, story-arc, development, turning points, reversals, pace, tension, and resolution?
The workshop will give new and more experienced writers the tools they need to pursue their own writing and story making in a more informed way. The goal will be to produce a piece of writing by the end of the day.
Known for his highly regarded creative writing workshops with the Hawk’s Well over many years, and for his trademark enthusiasm and insight, this promises once again to be an illuminating, playful, informative, and productive event.
