Session 1 – Monday 19 July
The perspectives available to you are almost endless. We’ll talk about narrowing down the
options while expanding the possibilities, and looking at where you stand, and where the
reader stands.
Session 2 – Tuesday 20 July
Using a first person narrative voice. Easy, right? Let’s find out. It could set you free, or it
could lead you into a dead end. We’ll be looking at first person narratives from which the
author seems absent, and at narratives where the author seems very present indeed. And at
voices which seem to dare you to believe them.
Session 3 – Wednesday 21 July
Guest Tutor
Session 4 – Thursday 22 July
The spectrum of the third person narrative voice is broad. From the distant to the
uncomfortably close, we examine the places we can get the reader to stand, and examine
what they’ll experience there.
Session 5 – Friday 23 July
Have you discovered a way of doing what you want to do? It’s decision time. What sort of
experience do you want the reader to have? Can you tell the reader where to stand? Can you
ask them to go out and come in again? Of course you can. On the final day, only one thing is
certain – anything is possible.
