About this Event
Independent publisher, Indie Novella, has teamed up with Islington Libraries and the Arts Council England to put on a series of writing workshops designed to help new writers get into publishing. This one-day workshop is all about Characterisation and Creating Compelling Characters to drive your novel forward. Readers don’t just fall in love with books, they fall in love with characters, and as such we will examine how to develop your characters and make them come to life on the page.The workshop is free and completely funded by the Arts Council. You may be an aspiring writer, a complete beginner, or even an established author who wants to learn the tips and techniques used in novel writing, the workshop should have something for everyone.As well as publishing edgy and unique fiction, Indie Novella also works with leading literary agencies such Watson, Little, David Godwin Associates and Georgina Capel to make novel writing and publishing more transparent and accessible. We believe all authors should have the same opportunities so we’ve carefully crafted a one day writing workshops to support local authors, writers and creatives in their writing journeys. In 2023 we launched the Diversity in Publishing Partnership, it will bring together independent publishers, booksellers and literary agencies, to leverage their collective resources to champion diversity in publishing.
