workshop with Amal Chatterjee

This workshop is from 12:00 till 15:00

We’ve all got stories to tell, ones we’re making up or want to, or of ourselves, our families, of places and worlds we’ve been or imagine. Join us for a brand new series of writing workshops, led by experienced fiction and prose tutor Amal Chatterjee.

At the end of the series, you’ll have at least one story completed or well under way, perhaps more, – or, if you are already working on a book or story underway, you’ll have completed it, or taken it to the next stage by exploring alternative ways of writing your stories, and discovering new tools for storytelling.

  • In Session 1, on 20 October, we will work on character, description, perspective and voice;
  • In Session 2, on 24 November, we will work on scenes, plot and continuity; 
  • In Session 3, on 15 December we’ll take work-in-progress, revise, workshop, develop and polis.

This workshop is for every aspiring writer, from absolute beginners to those with projects on the go, for people all backgrounds, and ages (17+). The working language will be English, but the stories you create could be in others too. 

Join us!
