The Facets of Fiction Short Course in the Short Story
A day long Writers’ Workshop
by Mike Smith, aka Brindley Hallam Dennis
as part of Lanercost Festival, on Saturday 25th June 2016
at Dacre Hall, Brampton
The FofF Short Course in the Short Story, takes several Facets of Fiction and explores them in three workshops. The first is the reading workshop in which a dismantled story is reassembled, requiring a discussion of just what a beginning, a middle, and an ending might look like, and what functions each fulfils.
Two subsequent workshops, based on writing exercises explore, firstly, the creation of stories by the locations in which they ‘take place’, and secondly how the voices we as authors create to tell our stories position the reader, the characters, and the narrator in relation to each other, creating the mood or ambience of the story, and of its telling.
In the fourth session of the day, workshop members will have an opportunity to read what they have been working on.
There will be short breaks between the first and second, and the third and fourth workshops, and a longer break between the second and third.
Workshops will begin at 10.00 am, and run until around 4.30pm ….
Places are limited and cost £25
