Saturday 25 September 2010, 10.30am–5.30pm, with dinner at 6pm
Nottingham Contemporary Art Gallery
In the second in our series of Writers’ Days, Nicola Monaghan , an award-winning novelist, will be leading a day workshop, with writing exercises, feedback, and the chance to enter into discussion about your work.
The course will focus on the problems faced by novelists in producing an extended piece of work, looking at plot, narrative structure, character and practical approaches to planning your work. Participants are encouraged to bring along ideas for a project to develop during the workshops.
Nicola’s first novel, The Killing Jar, won a Betty Trask Award, the Authors’ Club Best First Novel Prize, and the Waverton Good Read. Her second novel is Starfishing, and she has also published a novella, The Okinawa Dragon.
The cost of the Day is £75 (or £45 for members of Nottingham Writers’ Studio), which includes tea and coffee, a light lunch, and a group dinner.
