Now, more than ever, readers are looking to fiction to help make sense of the world. They won’t be able to resist turning the page when meeting characters facing difficult choices. Learn how to weave moral dilemmas into your stories to gain relevance— and watch your fiction soar to new heights.  

What will you do in the workshop?

We’ll examine what a moral conundrum is, and the different types that exist. Drawing inspiration from famous storylines in fiction, we’ll combine with character to develop nuance, complexity, and conflict to help develop your story 

What can you expect?

Using brainstorming, and timed exercises – including freestyle ‘intuitive’ writing – we’ll get closer to the issue/s you’d like to explore with characters that best drive the narrative forward. This is a practical workshop with a handout to help enrich your understanding.  

Who is this workshop for?

For aspiring novelists and intermediate short story writers. Bring with you a mental sketch of an existing character/s you’d like to develop, or an idea / theme you’re interested in.  

This workshop is part of our Developing Tutors series.
