New Writing Workshops: Storyworlds with novelist Amy Lilwall
We’ve just added another free workshop to our summer schedule of online writing courses for young creatives. In this masterclass with dystopian novelist Amy Lilwall, you’ll learn how to build worlds through your creative writing. In doing so, you’ll explore the space between an imagined future and our present reality.
The focus of the Storyworlds creative writing session for 16-22-year-olds at 5pm on Wednesday July 15th will be on world building, and asking questions such as;
- How can we use current changes in our society (COVID-19, climate disaster, protests) as a provocation?
- What does your storyworld look like?
- Why has your character been chosen to interact with this world?
Amy Lilwall, author The Biggerers, lecturer in Creative Writing at University of Lincoln, and eternal optimist, will guide you as you explore the technical aspects of writing and world building. You’ll also have time to write over the two hours, with helpful prompts set by Amy.
Register for your place on Eventbrite here by 1pm on Wednesday July 15th.
