From Drafting to Crafting (open to all year groups)

17 & 20 January

Online | Zoom sessions 1000-11.30 each day plus a 45-minute session at the end of the day.

Course tutors will arrange a tutorial directly with the student in the days between the sessions.

You have reams of research, numerous bits of writing that need to be joined into a single narrative, rough thoughts and notes, teeming references. How do you bring these into coherence and begin refining your narrative?

Writing is a dance between two processes: the creative process (drafting) and the critical process (crafting), which are separate, yet overlapping. The first half of this one-day workshop will give you tools to get your raw material onto the page, to interrogate your ideas more deeply, and to find your own unique voice. Next, you will step into the shoes of your reader and learn basic editing skills to help you revise your material so as to make your ideas clear to follow and compelling to read.
