And how might these broader themes be made more arresting, more graspable, by threading in a smaller and more personal focus? Whether you’re a non-fiction writer looking for ‘narrative’, or a ‘narrative’ writer wondering if your work speaks to anything beyond your personal experience, whether you’re stuck halfway through a manuscript or just flirting with a couple of initial ideas, this five-day course with acclaimed authors Helen Jukes and Noreen Masud focuses on drawing connections between the big and the small, the personal and the political, in narrative non-fiction. Writing exercises will encourage you to zoom in and out: to write both small and personal, and big and expansive. By the end of the week, you'll have experimented with drilling down to the emotional heart of your narrative non-fiction project, and feeling beyond your own story to explore its wider contexts. What to Expect: • Supportive workshops to deepen your craft: All the essential elements of non-fiction writing, from research and structure to voice and style • Expert guidance from your tutors: Acclaimed and prizewinning writers share their insights into building a writing practice • Personal Feedback: Focused 1:1 sessions with your tutors for constructive feedback on your work • Inspiration from a range of texts: Learn more about technique from the very...
