How to Write Fiction: Your Introduction to Creative Writing with Anne Kennedy

Got story ideas but haven't managed to get them down on paper yet?

Join novelist & poet Anne Kennedy LIVE on Zoom for this supportive two day workshop and and start your creative writing journey.

How to Write Fiction introduces newer writers to the fundamentals of creative writing - character, story, voice, structure, setting and genre.

Participants will join Anne for two full days (Sun 13 Feb & Sun 20 Feb) - and start writing in the week between.

The two workshops focus on writing the short story, but all of the fiction elements Anne explores are vital to writing a novel or novella.
