Deadline: 28 April - 19 May 2011
Time: 7:00pm - 9:30pm
Successful creative writing workshop ‘How to Start Your Story (And Finish It)’ now offered as an evening class!
In addition to our successful series of morning workshops, we are now offering “How To Start Your Story (And Finish It…)’ on Thursday evenings on April 28, May 5,12, & 19 from 7Pm to 9.30PM. Whatever you write, you are telling a story. In this workshop we will look at the way you tell it. Each session starts with an intensive ‘superfocus’ writing session to trigger your creativity and access your unconscious process. Through group and pair exercises we will also learn different narrative strategies to construct and develop your story, and there will be ongoing supportive feedback and lots of inspiration. Taught in four connecting sessions by Anette Pollner, leader of the Bangkok Women Writer's Group, with the goal to create and finish a story or a chapter in a long term project by the end of the final session.
This workshop is based on the original workshop ‘How To Tell Your Story’ in November 2010. It includes a lot of new material and conceptual development (Including strategies on how to get your work finished).
Ms Pollner is the co-author and editor of ‘Bangkok Blondes’ a collection published by the Bangkok Women’s Writers Group in 2007 and still a Thai English language bestseller, and author of ‘Heart of the Desert’, published by Drollerie Press (US) in 2009. She writes a regular column in the Big Chili, and her travel mystery ‘The company of frogs’ was shortlisted for the longbarn first novel prize in the UK. She has been featured as a local author in the Star Malaysia, the Bangkok Trader and the Bangkok Diary, on Thai TV (‘Good Morning Bangkok’) and as a creative role model in a current exhibition at Bumrungrad Hospital. She is also a winner of the 2010 international Seven Fund essay prize ‘The Morality of Profits’. During her 15 years in London she studied creative writing at the City Lit and City University where she subsequently also taught, as well as at the Arvon Foundation and the Groucho Club and was a regular reader at the Poetry Society. In her ‘first life’ she was a theatre and opera director and has decades of experience in unfolding creativity with artists of all genres.
The workshop runs in April/May 2011 on the following Thursday evenings: April 28, May 5,12, & 19 from 7Pm to 9.30PM.
Location: TBA – an easily accessible venue in central Bangkok
Cost: 1,000 thai baht per session or 3,500 thai baht for four pre-paid sessions.
