Fiction Workshop Course with Kiare Ladner

“The resonance of human life is not about exotic places or dramatic experiences, but it’s about the quality of attention brought to bear.” Garth Greenwell

Calling novel writers, novella writers, short story writers and fictionistas…

Is it time to air the story you’ve been working on alone? Are there several ideas you can’t choose between? Do you require a deadline to get you going? Is something not quite working but you’re not sure why? Or do you just want to feel part of a working writers’ gang?

Roll up your sleeves and come along to our fiction writing workshops. Every week we’ll discuss several participants’ submissions. We’ll follow an established protocol to keep the feedback balanced and ensure that we give each piece our best attention. As engaged and respectful readers, we’ll provide our writers with encouragement, constructive criticism and questions, paying attention to craft and vision.

An extra part of each session will involve writing exercises. These are designed enlarge the understanding of our craft, spark up our imaginations and push against self-limitations. They will take place during class with time for writers to reflect and share.

Sitting in your cave scribbling has its place but bringing your writing to light often results in a significant breakthrough. Join us for six weeks to give your work a chance to flourish...

Our tutor Kiare says...

Where I learned the most as a writer was in group workshops. And it's wonderful to see our talented students doing the same. Their careful articulations, fresh perspectives and open engagement with each other's work create a vibe in the Zoom room that fuels our writing efforts across the week.
