Workshop: Plotting Techniques

Create a storyline and plot structure

A solid plot forms the backbone of a good novel. In this workshop, we’ll learn about the different plot ‘formulae’ that recur in fiction and how these can be adapted. We’ll go through creative exercises that give you the chance to trial various approaches to plotting, at different levels of detail. The aim is to help you find a method that works for you in developing your storyline and planning a structure for your novel.
