At Domaine Valent, Occitanie France
You’ll arrive on Friday, visit the farmers’ market on Saturday and then dive into the work for the rest of the week, nourished by host Amory’s hand-made farm-to-table food, and Judy’s gentle, experienced guidance.
Morning workshops:
• showing not telling: adjectives, adverbs & other clichés
• description to grab your reader: beginnings & endings
• dialogue & character: the structure of stories and novels
• what is fiction?
• approaching agents & publishers
Afternoon: Develop skills to help other writers identify their aims and how to achieve them.
Evening: Personal feedback on your exercises or a larger project
Learn to create believable worlds and complex characters that resonate. Learn to self-edit, to recognize what works, and make the words leap from the page. This will all translate into scenes and stories that truly convince.
