Introducing Inkpots Online 'Essentials' introduction to storytelling course.

Writing can feel overwhelming; so many ideas, so little structure, and that nagging voice asking, "is this even any good?"

Inkpots Online 'Essentials' is here to help you write with confidence. Across 6 live, interactive 'lunch & learn' sessions, we'll break down the core elements of storytelling, giving you the tools to take your writing from idea to first draft.

This course is perfect for;

• Beginners & early stage writers ready to build their craft
• Writers who may have been writing for a while and want to refine their skills
• Writers of fiction & memoir looking for structure & confidence
• Anyone who wants to join a supportive, small-group writing space.

• Week 1: Your Writer's Toolbox - essential skills, terminology & mindset

• Week 3: Character Development - bring your characters to life
• Week 4: What's the Story? - plot a compelling story framework
