Writing Workshop: Writing Across Form

Led by novelist and award-winning Playwright, Mel Pennant, you’ll explore the unique quirks of writing for each form, from the immersive soundscapes of an audio play to the visual drama of a stage production, all the way to the depth and detail of a novel. Plus, you'll learn how to craft and adapt your ideas, so they can take on new life in any medium you choose.

• Anyone curious about exploring the versatility of their ideas
• Writers looking to break out of their usual medium and try something new
• Anyone eager to expand their creative toolkit and experiment across different forms

• The ability to generate and develop fresh, versatile ideas
• Clarity on how to expand and refine ideas across different mediums
