Creative Writing: Voice & Depth: Writing with Confidence and Authenticity

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 move beyond structure and develop their voice, tone, and emotional depth.

Through a series of writing exercises and discussion, you will explore ways to build confidence in your writing voice, write with emotional honesty, and avoid using clichés. We will also look at exercises that help you to revise your work to introduce both rhythm and resonance.
