Explore and Restore: Emerging Writers’ Workshop (6 weeks)

When the glorious ‘honeymoon’ of the first draft wears off, it becomes clear that the craft of writing is, in fact, rewriting!

These workshops are suitable for anyone who’s taken an introduction/beginners course with us or has covered the basic aspects of creative writing in another capacity.

We’ll dig deeper into the craft of writing, examining more involved aspects of character creation and story structure as well as the implementation of emotion and expression in narrative. Along with interactive exercises, we’ll begin the process of feedback of work in progress.

This is the cornerstone of my sessions, the place where your work can truly lift off the page. Giving and receiving feedback is a great skill to master for editing and revision of your work.

The explore and restore workshops are suitable for writers working in all forms: short fiction, novels, memoir, drama, etc.

Where: Garden Room, Carmelite Centre

When: Wednesday evenings, October 16th – November 20th.

Time: 6.30-8.30 pm.

Testimonials:

This workshop has been absolutely fantastic! Nicole’s experience in workshopping and facilitation have made the class a joy, and the folks that are attracted by her enthusiasm are of the highest calibre, both in critique and in their work. I would happily recommend this class to writers of all kinds – you will certainly be rewarded.”
