Do you feel you’ve got more to learn about the art of writing short-stories?
This Masterclass is part workshop, part manuscript consultation and is led by a master stylist; expert novelist and short-story writer Patricia Duncker. An invaluable opportunity to get not only expert advice but also individual feedback on 4000 words of your work.
In this workshop Patricia will help you to analyse the qualities and techniques that make a piece of writing particularly strong. She’ll emphasise good writing practise and highlight effective use of language which you will then be able to apply to your own work.
By submitting your manuscript before the Masterclass, you’ll then get bespoke feedback from Patricia and she will then guide you through the editing process – which is so important in creating a successful short-story.
This opportunity is sure to sell fast; do book up today if you’re interested.
• The 4,000 words can be a single story, or 2-3 shorter stories. (Double spaced and in 12pt font)
• Please send your work to info@writerscentrenorwich.org.uk by Wednesday 28th August.

Intermediate- A practised writer who has taken part in creative writing classes, and who would like to refine their writing and move on to the next level.
Advanced- An experienced writer, perhaps with a history of publication or previous academic experience of writing, who wants to work towards professional publication.
