Short Story Workshop: A Sense of Place

Using Jane Austen’s House in Chawton as inspiration, this creative writing workshop will give you the techniques and confidence to write a short story where the setting is paramount. We’ll work through a series of exercises including inspiration, getting started, characterisation, endings, and how to make the place your characters inhabit crucial to your story.
