Dyad: Writing short stories about human connection

We are really looking forward to welcoming you to ‘Dyad: Writing short stories about human connection’. 

You've probably heard it said that a story is driven by the desires of a single protagonist, but what happens when you instead look at short stories through the lens of relationships? Relationships don't have to be romantic. Think of a father and daughter, worker and boss, teacher and pupil; friends, enemies, and lovers. All of these connections might give rise to instant story possibilities.

In this workshop, short story writer Edward Hogan will take you through a series of reading and writing exercises which use relationships between characters as a way to generate ideas, give structure to your stories, and drive dialogue and action.

The key details of the session are below, as well as the link you’ll need to join this online masterclass.
