Writing with a Purpose Again

In this full day writing workshop, Brian Leyden will help you write with personal purpose by exploring the art and craft of fiction, auto-fiction, essay, non-fiction.

Which form of writing is best for you and the story you want to tell. What is voice, style, plot, structure, turning point, reversal, pace, tension, and resolution?

For newer and more experienced writers we will examine the tools you need to pursue your own writing and story making, and aim to end the day with an original piece of work. Brian’s highly regarded creative writing workshops always book out early thanks to his generous insight and enthusiasm. Expect an illuminating, playful informative and comprehensive day.
