WRITING WORKSHOP

An inspiring course to get your creative juices flowing! The classes are aimed at people who would love to write for others enjoyment but are not sure how to get started.

It is said that we all have a book inside us. Whether you dream of writing for profit or pleasure, Corfu based writer Belinda Farmer will help you on the first steps to writing a readable story!

Detail:

Starting with a half day workshop held at the villa, during which you will learn about the basic principles of writing. From sentence formation and punctuation to keeping the reader's attention and where to look for inspiration. You will be encouraged to write a short story or article during your stay using your newly acquired knowledge.

The course will also include a short session on getting published, and submitting your work for consideration.

Before you head for home Belinda will return to the villa to 'critique' your writing, giving pointers and praise, so that you will have a foundation to work from in your pursuit of the written word.

Times can be adapted to suit the clients, but the first half day session will be four hours, morning or afternoon, plus a short tea or coffee break mid session.

The critique of work session is something of a fluid arrangement depending on the number of people in the group. Belinda will need between one and two hours to read your work and make notes. After which time she will take as long as is needed with each participant to go through their work with them, but this is likely to be between 30 and 60 minutes per person. Again this can be organised at a mutually convenient time.



Cost: 55€ per person, to include course materials and handouts, minimum 2 persons.
