As part of our George MacDonald programme join fantasy writer, Kate Davidson, for a creative writing workshop on the theme of fantasy where you will receive advice and guidance on how to write a short fantasy story.  Kate, a highly successful writer, has written episodes for popular dramas such as Hollyoaks and Doctors as well as for The A-List, Kindle's supernatural teen thriller which was also shown on BBC iplayer. 

This is session 2 of 2 workshops delivered over a 2 month period. 

Please note: there is a charge of £5 for each session.  If paying at the venue, cash only please.

To gain the most from the workshops it is recommended you attend both sessions as allows the participants to build on their work between the 2 session and gain feedback from Kate.
