About this Event
Join critically acclaimed and published novelist Mark Connors for an intensive day dedicated to launching your ambitious project.
This hands-on workshop is designed for both aspiring writers and those who’ve struggled to complete their manuscripts. We’ll cover the essential foundations of novel writing to get your first chapter up and running, and equip you with strategies to keep the momentum going.
What We'll Cover
Foundation & Development: We’ll analyse selected texts to dive deep into the pillars of fiction: character, plot, and setting.
Practical Planning: Engage in focused writing exercises to help you formulate new ideas or significantly expand concepts you already have.
The Crucial First Chapter: The primary aim is to get your opening chapter drafted and moving forward.
Avoiding Pitfalls: Learn how not to write your novel. We'll identify and discuss the common "trapdoors" many first-time novelists fall through, saving you time and frustration.
Exclusive Q&A Session
Take advantage of a dedicated Q&A session with Mark Connors. This is your chance to gain professional insight and ask a published novelist about all aspects of the writing life, from seeking publication to the journey beyond the book deal.
Just bring a notebook and a pen—and your ambition!
