This event has passed

Event details

Have you ever questioned what makes a good plot? How to make sure your novel follows a narrative structure? Perhaps you have a clear vision of where you want your characters to end up, but aren’t sure how to get them there? Or, you may have an array of brilliant ideas for your novel, but struggle to see how they connect? 

Crafting a cohesive narrative plot can sometimes feel overwhelming when you start writing – but award-winning author Ayisha Malik can help! Join her for this intimate, unmissable introduction to narrative plot. 

Please bring a pen and paper or digital device to write with. You will have the opportunity to share your work, but will not be obligated to. Capacity is limited to 20 places so please book as soon as possible.
