Join us in our Zoom classroom for this two-session creative writing workshop from the comfort of your own home.
With numbers strictly limited to ten, this workshop takes you step by step through the process of laying out dialogue professionally and shows you how to use it to bring your characters, and stories, to life.
This is a great opportunity to develop your writing skills and make friends with others on the same journey. It’ll be exciting, stretching, lots of fun, and give you the confidence to take your writing forward. This workshop is suitable for writers who want to develop their dialogue writing skills, including beginners.
Workshop Outline:
Each session will start with some writing chat to help the group get to know each other, relax and settle into a creative mindset. We also play creative games so you can learn some of the functions in Zoom that we need to use in the workshop.
Week 1: How to Write Dialogue – Here you’ll learn what dialogue can be used for in your story, and how to lay it out. You'll complete a short exercise to see how effective it can be at bringing your stories to life.
Week 2: Writing a Scene Using Dialogue – In this session, you’ll explore the subtext in dialogue and how to use it effectively to make your characters believable and have depth. Then it's over to you to write a short scene using dialogue. You'll have a chance to share your writing (if you want to) and receive constructive feedback.
Your workshop notes will be emailed to you after each session.
