At its best, the sensation of writing is that of any unmerited grace. It is handed to you, but only if you look for it. You search, you break your heart, your back, your brain, and then — and only then — it is handed to you.   

-Annie Dillard

Cost: £275

​

Writing is a craft, an art that requires more than just practice. In order to write well we must also spend what might possibly amount to a lifetime, examining how other writers work their magic. As writers we read so that we might be enriched, not just by someone else’s story but to also glean from how they’ve crafted it. In this non-genre specific, six-week virtual craftshop, each week we will highlight various elements of craft, honing in on a specific aspect of writing, familiarizing ourselves with examples of techniques to add to our own personal toolkits.

​

Each week you will receive a video tutorial with examples, excerpts and/or links.  You may choose to work on applying on the chosen element of craft for the week or you might choose to experiment with something else. It’s entirely up to you.

​

Whether you’re knee deep in a novel or just embarking on a new project, regardless of where you find yourself in your writing process, this craftshop is designed to help you re-imagine your own work through the lens of technique, making it shine to its brightest potential.

 

HOW IT WORKS

Each week you will receive an email including:

  • Warm words of encouragement, reminding you why you’re here and what you’re doing

  • Genius examples of craft - excerpts lifted from memoirs, novels, articles and/or links for you to explore

  • A writing prompt to jumpstart your writing for the week

 

SCHEDULE

Week 1 - Big Bangs: Openings that incite curiosity and awe

​

“Are you a born writer? Were you put on earth to be a painter, a scientist, an apostle of peace? In the end the question can only be answered by action.

Do it or don't do it.

It may help to think of it this way. If you were meant to cure cancer or write a symphony or crack cold fusion and you don't do it, you not only hurt yourself, even destroy yourself. You hurt your children. You hurt me. You hurt the planet.

You shame the angels who watch over you and you spite the Almighty, who created you and only you with your unique gifts, for the sole purpose of nudging the human race one millimeter farther along its path back to God.

Creative work is not a selfish act or a bid for attention on the part of the actor. It's a gift to the world and every being in it. Don't cheat us of your contribution. Give us what you've got.”

― Steven Pressfield, The War of Art
