SUMMARY:Writing Crime Fiction
DESCRIPTION:With its criminals\, cops\, and everything in between\, crime fiction is this country’s best-selling genre. But what makes it so popular? And why?\nWhat sets it apart from any other genre? And more importantly\, how can you write it? \nThis will be a course that covers character\, dialogue\, landscape and dramatic narrative. It will also involve group workshops with the writers presenting their works in progress for analysis and critique. It will also work as a writing support group\, encouraging the writers to talk to each other and celebrate/commiserate on how their work is going. Celebrate\, obviously.\nI will be there to guide and structure the writers’ work\, giving critiques and holding workshops\, utilising writing tools and exercises to keep the work coming along and the writers unblocked. We will also look at editing and reediting to make sure the finished work is in the best possible form by the end of the course.\nThe end result should be at least a sizeable chunk of a novel\, if not a completed one\, ready to take further. \nMartyn Waites was an actor before becoming a writer. He has been nominated for every major British crime fiction award and has written over twenty novels including the critically acclaimed Joe Donovan series\, Born Under Punches which won the Grand Prix du Roman Etranger and The White Room which was a Guardian best book of the year. His latest novel\, The Final Chapter\, published under the new name CB Everett has been described by Lee Child as ‘a deftly plotted\, gripping\, pulse-racing rollercoaster of a thriller…stunning.’ \n  \nExeter Phoenix \nWednesdays\, 14.00-15.30 \nSep dates: 16\, 23\, 30\nOct dates:7\, 14\, 21 \nNov dates: 4\, 11\, 18\, 25\nDec dates:2\, 9 \nJan dates: 13\, 20\, 27\nFeb dates: 3\, 10\, 17 \n  \nPart-payment plans can be arranged if you’d like to pay in three instalments of £320. \nPlease contact carla@rawwriting.co.uk if you’d like to arrange this.

SUMMARY:Writers’ Workshop Course with Trevor Byrne (Monday or Wednesday)
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for feedback on your writing?\nAre you keen to become a more analytical reader?\nAre you eager to spend time discussing your work with others; developing your writer’s toolkit alongside a group of like-minded peers?\nIf so\, the Raw Writing Writers Workshop might be right for you! \nOver this six-month course\, you will have the opportunity to present your work for feedback\, while also analysing the writing of your peers. Cultivating the ability to read closely the work of others and give thoughtful\, considered feedback is an essential skill for any aspiring writer.
