Have you got a novel idea that won't leave you alone, but no clear sense of where to begin?
This relaxed, practical workshop is for anyone who has always wanted to write a novel and hasn't started yet, or has started and stalled.
In three hours, you will:
Turn a vague idea into a clear starting point: a premise, a character with something at stake, and an opening image
Learn how novels actually get written, including how to plan without over-planning, build a routine that fits your life, and cope with a first draft that feels messy (it always does)
Write the first page of your novel and share it in a warm, supportive setting, with feedback that is encouraging and useful
Leave with a take-home workbook and a clear idea of what to do next
Who it's for: Aspiring and first-time novelists, anyone returning to writing after a long break, and anyone who has felt held back by self-doubt or writer's block. All genres are welcome.
