Maybe you’ve got a notebook full of ideas you’ve never dared to write. Or maybe you’re scared to write full stop. If so, this workshop is for you.
In this interactive session, bestselling novelist Emily Koch explores why the ideas we keep avoiding are often the ones with the most energy. Through discussion, practical exercises and creative prompts, you’ll identify the stories that excite – and intimidate – you, discover how research and experimentation can help you tackle ambitious ideas, and leave with the confidence to take the first step towards the project you can’t stop thinking about.
Suitable for fiction writers at any stage, from complete beginners to those already working on a novel.
Emily Koch is an award-winning journalist and author of three novels, If I Die Before I Wake, Keep Him Close and What July Knew. Her debut, If I Die Before I Wake, was shortlisted for the Crime Writers’ Association Steel Dagger award, won a French crime fiction award, was longlisted for the Authors’ Club Best First Novel Award, and was selected as a Waterstones Thriller of the Month. Her short fiction has also been broadcast on BBC Radio 4. She lives in Bristol.
