Creative Reading and Writing
Workshop 2:
Creative writing genre workshop
Work alongside our creative writing tutor to finish off an
opening line in various genres: horror, adventure, romance,
science-fiction, thriller or fairytale.
Duration of workshop:
1 and a half hours
Maximum group size:
28
Age range:
Junior 7 - 9,
Senior 9 - 11
(also available for post-primary
groups aged 11 - 14, 14 - 18)
Cost: £40 per group
This workshop will deal with a range of genres: horror, romance,
thriller, adventure, fairy tales and science-fiction.
The facilitator will create a scenario which participants
will then develop in their own style, using techniques common
to each genre. So, for example, if the opening line consists
of a description of a house on a hill, then you know that
the horror finishing line is going to be very different than
the comedy follow-on!
Groups will get the chance to learn about how stories are
constructed, and how there are different ‘rules’
for different types of stories, how these conventions have
developed, and how to make the most of your ideas on paper.
