Session Details
Creative Writing Workshops that discuss where ideas come from, how stories are structured and the importance of characters, plot and conflict. Sessions include writing exercises that are both fun and relevant to the discussion. Reading/Q&A: I talk about my background, how I came to write and how my stories developed, followed by a reading from one of the books and an open Q&A session
Age Group Details
The Third Pig series is aimed at readers from 4th Class upwards so preference is 9+. I have no issue with group size as long as everyone can be accommodated comfortably.
Availability Details
