Session format
- Beginning with a reading, using passages from published works to show how writers create atmosphere and make their imagined worlds come to life.
- A 20-minute session at the midpoint to allow participants to write a small piece designed to hone a particular skill:
- For the beginners, this could be describing a certain view, or a memory, or a particular character from their own lives.
- For the more advanced group, this will be based on situations from their own works in progress, or be inspired by the characters, settings or plot of the selected reading.
Each session will be very informal and participants are free to choose whether they wish to share their work with the group. The emphasis will be on encouragement and developing a fun, creative environment where imaginations can be set free.
