Bring a sense of place and atmosphere to your writing

Whatever you set your story, it’s important to know where your characters are. What are they seeing, hearing and feeling and how much of that do you need to include in the manuscript? Is the landscape a character in itself and how much does it impact the story and the people you are writing about. Or is it simply a backdrop to the action?



Whatever the answer, having a real sense of place in your mind can help you write in 3D, giving your story that all important element that can lift it off the page into the imagination of the reader.



In this two-hour workshop, writer Chris Penhall uses her experience as an author, content writer and radio and podcast producer to help you bring the world you have in your mind to life, using simple exercises and strategies.



Drinks and snacks will be available to purchase on the night.
