Once Upon A Time: A Fairy Tale Workshop 

Picture
Fairy Tales are ancient. T​hey have been told all over the world, through the centuries but they’re also timeless, and they’re certainly not just for children.

​For a writer, they can be a wonderful source and inspiration. From short stories to novels, retellings to reversionings, fairy tales offer an array of magical gifts for the creation of imaginative story-worlds.

Join author Sophie Masson on a journey of exploration as she guides you through the wonderful world of fairy tales and how you can use them in your own work to create enchanting and powerful fiction, for readers of all ages.
Workshop Details:
Date:    Saturday 7 November 2020
Time:    2pm - 4pm
Where:  In the comfort of your home!  Online, via Zoom
Cost:     $50 for NEWC members / $65 non-members
