We are delighted to announce that the inaugural Sibling Writery workshop will take place at our local Bourne End Library this Thursday, 24th September, 7-9pm. Alexandra, our middle sibling (and the one on the left in the header photo), will be leading “In for the Long Haul: An Introduction to Novel Writing.” She will cover the stages of the novel-writing process, from that first creative “spark” to the final polish of editing a manuscript; and discuss the core structural components necessary to produce a story that can be sustained to novel length. We will also discuss useful literary tools and writing methods that will help you persevere through the long but incredibly rewarding task of completing a novel, and talk about making the transition from short story to novel writing.

The workshop will be lively and interactive–so bring pencil and paper!– and is suitable for all ages and abilities. The only requirement is a keen interest in writing. Fee per person is £10. The library’s address is Wakeman Road, Bourne End SL8 5SX. If you can come along, we’d love to see you there!
