This two-hour workshop will teach you to become your own best structural editor. Regardless of genre, all strong writing has one underlying feature: it grabs the reader’s attention and keeps it. How do we craft our narrative with maximum colour, emotional compression and narrative momentum? How do we deploy voice and setting to create a rich and compelling world? What does it mean to be brutally honest with oneself when deciding what to keep and what to cut? This hands-on workshop will include structural editing techniques, practical exercises and many examples of how a ten per cent refinement can make a one hundred per cent difference.
