Guardian Masterclasses have announced a new fiction writing course with authors Adam Foulds, Sarah Hall and Hanif Kureishi, which will take place on the 9th and 10th April at Kings Place, London. The course is workshop-based, which combine writing exercises with discussions about technique and editing skills.
How does the relationship between a writer's intuition or free expression, and the materialisation of character and subject matter, really work? Why does style and perspective matter? What makes for naturalistic dialogue and a realistic landscape? Can the trajectory of a story be planned or might it be 'found' retrospectively after the first draft is finished, then marshalled in the next stages? What do readers enjoy reading and is the writer obliged to take this into account while writing?
Three of the country's finest writers will offer their expert guidance in exploring these fundamental questions. Writers at all stages are welcome.
