A novel in 90 minutes with Zoe Strachan
A novel in 90 minutes- Writing Workshop with Zoe Strachan
A novel in 90 minutes? - If only! But we will take a whistle stop tour of the key ingredients of prose fiction in an intensive session with some practical exercises to do on the spot, and begin to think towards strategies for getting your work published. More suitable for those who are already writing fiction or memoir, but beginners are welcome too.
