Organised by Farnham Maltings.

Where do ideas come from? Why are stories so important to us as human beings?

This writing workshop introduces a range of techniques for storytelling, including the Pixar ‘story spine’, and looks at common narrative structures in familiar tales such as fairy stories to help you craft your own compelling opening scene.

Led by prize-winning local novelist Joanna Barnard.
