7th to 11th July in Tarifa, Spain

 

 

IN THE WRITE LIGHT is the creative writing holiday that invites you to de-stress, unblock, release andcreate. Our unique programme delivers a holistic approach to the writing process by focussing equally on participant’s mental and physical vitality.

 

Set in the beautiful town of Tarifa, on Spain’s Costa de la Luz, this five-day holiday offers writers the chance to work with experienced tutors in a relaxed informal environment.

 

The session begins with a deep tissue full body massage. Cleansing the body of toxins and releasing stress, this is the first step towards awakening the WRITE LIGHT within.

 

 

With an equal emphasis on writing and relaxation, the workshop includes 16 hours of tuition with a published author and accomplished tutor pluslazy lunches on the beach, leisurely walks along stunning coastline, dinners of fresh fish and tasty tapas, lively chats with like-minded friends long into the night.

 

Mia's workshop will focus on bringing drama to your fiction writing by answering the following questions: 

1. What makes writing compelling and alive? 

2. What is your unique narrative voice? 

3. What makes a good plot great? 

4. What makes dialogue believable?

 

The workshop will look at employing the following techniques:

 

• Voice: Playing with devices like the ‘messenger speech’ and inner monologue to uncover possibilities for narrative voice.
• Narrative: Analysing story-structure through play and games to hone a sense of the pitfalls, tricks and techniques which make good plots great.
• Character: Using dramatic devices like ‘hot-seating’ and status games to develop authentic, believable characters.
• Dialogue and action: Using improvisation and collective story-writing to sharpen the interactions between your characters.
