This writing workshop is all about becoming a writer and sustaining your writing practice, how to write, what write and what skills and techniques to use.
Jenny and Catherine talk about their books – and also offer tips all the way through the talk on overcoming any problems with character, dialogue, place and narrative drive. This will be followed by some time for audience questions.
