Creative Writing: Write Clearly, Write True: Strengthening Voice and Craft

In this series of creative writing workshops involving short exercises and discussion, writer Lynn Hamilton will help you strengthen your writing, identify ways to build narrative control, and move beyond structure to develop voice, tone and emotional depth.

Pick one workshop of interest or all three to progress through the fundamentals of the craft of writing. Please bring a notebook, a pen, and any story fragments or plot ideas you’d like to work on.

There will be a short break mid-way through each workshop.

The aim of this workshop is to help writers improve the quality of their writing by making it more precise, vivid, structured, and readable, without losing their authentic voice.

Through a series of exercises and discussion, you will look at what makes writing powerful, how to introduce detail and emotional truth whilst retaining a clear structure, and how to edit your work to enhance readability.
