MASTERCLASS: Where the narrative leads with Louise Doughty

WORD FACTORY PRESENTS:

Where the narrative leads with Louise Doughty.

It's not always clear whether an idea is a short story or a full-length book. Authors often think they are writing in one form and discover their story is mutating. Award-winning novelist, screenwriter, Man Booker Prize judge and short-story writer Louise Doughty will draw on her own experience to help writers trust their instinctive responses and learn from their craft. Drawing on her book Black Water which began as a short story and became a 100,000 word novel, Louise will share what she’s learned in her writing career. There will be time to work on your own ideas and workshop briefly in the class.

Aimed at writers wondering whether to develop a story into a novel.

Class limited to 15 places.
