Skill Sunday with Emily Larkin
Join writer and university tutor Emily Larkin for a concise, 2 hour Sunday writing session, part theory and part practical exercises.
In the first hour of the workshop, you'll be taken through the crash couse basics of a new topic or theme we'll set for each session. This is followed by an hour of practical writing, with ample time and opportunity to ask questions and get one-on-one assistance as you work through the exercises.
Our topic for 25 July is Dialogue.
