The day course will examine the fundamental building blocks of a strong, compelling (and ready-to-submit) novel. Areas covered include pace and characterisation - with special focus on building tension and suspense - as well as the editing and submission process. The course is suitable for both beginners and those who have started writing but would love additional tips and direction.

In this one-day workshop, Jenny Knight will teach writers how to navigate the process of handling inevitable setbacks, building resilience, and creating a supportive writing community.

The first in Maria Thomas's series of online workshops for budding and practicing short story writers.
