LIFE WRITING
August 24-29 • Horatio Clare and Helena Drysdale
Guest: Lloyd Jones

Residential: £495 (single); £435 (shared)  SHARED ACCOMODATION ONLY

One of the best routes into writing – both fiction and non-fiction - is through our personal experiences and memories, and some of our most interesting material comes from our own lives. This course will explore the techniques of using that material to tell our stories as well as we can, focusing on characterisation, description, voice, structure and editing.
