WRITING IS REWRITING: HOW TO EDIT FICTION
SUNDAY 21 APRIL 2024
Where: Maison Internationale des Associations, rue des Savoises 15,1205 Geneva
Time: 10:30-16:30
Workshop
Editing your writing is as creative and crucial a process as writing your first draft. Throughout this one-day workshop, we'll explore how to edit our fiction to get the best out of our writing. We'll look at the broader scope of our stories, as well as our style and narrative voice, playing with structure, nurturing and interrogating characters, and experimenting with and establishing our unique prose styles. Together, we’ll spend time as reader, writer and editor, to determine the questions we need to be asking of our own writing, so that each character, each scene and each sentence comes to life on the page.
The workshop will be interactive, with individual and group activities, plus plenty of opportunity to discuss techniques and queries regarding your writing.
