The next WRITERS' BOOTCAMP will be held July 27th, 28th and 29th
Polish your writing until it shines with an appraisal, intensive workshops, and personal interviews.
Turn that work-in-progress into a masterpiece. This 2 + days of workshops and interviews take you through all the things a publisher’s editor will be looking for and helps you polish the story until it shines.
In this intensive workshop, we will examine the technical aspects of your manuscript to make sure they are doing their job and equip you with tools and techniques to support your story and turn it into an exciting narrative.
Prerequisite: Please send the first 10 pages of your manuscript for an appraisal so I can let you know what you need to focus on during the weekend. Manuscripts must be in by June 30th. Go to the workshop's page for more details.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING - Tutor Elaine Ouston
When we read a novel with a graphic description of the setting, we are transported to that place.
If the description is too brief, then we have no idea what physical situation our characters are in and we lose interest. If it is too long we bore the reader.
The use of our 5 senses is also very important to create a sense of place.
In this workshop, you will be given examples of how to find that perfect balance and exercises on creating a setting that transports us to the place.
