Creative Writing with Joy Winkler

Join us for this exciting creative writing workshop with former Cheshire Poet Laureate, published author, playwright and experienced workshop facilitator, Joy Winkler.

  • Booking essential

'Tangled Webs' Of this workshop, Joy says…. “In this workshop we will look at building a three-dimensional plot not just a one-dimensional narrative. We will discuss backstories, character sketches, red herrings and twists and turns. We will look at other techniques that we could use to manage the many threads and how to pull them together in a seamless and convincing way.

Also, as the theme involves tangled webs and the way they can deceive, we will consider how to include intrigue and duplicitous characters in our writing.”

(Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Park Entry and Garden Entry)
