Writing East Anglia with Jeremy Page
Saturday 20th March 2010│10am – 4pm│Writers’ Centre Norwich, 14 Princes Street, Norwich│£50 / £40 conc
Are you writing about East Anglia?
This is a wonderful chance for you to look at the possibilities, inspirations and obstacles encountered when writing about our great region.
With Norfolk based author, scriptwriter and journalist Jeremy Page at the helm, you can glean ideas and knowledge from a writer who has mastered the art of depicting the foreboding, dominant landscape we live in.
His two novels Salt, shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize for Best First Book, and The Wake, winner of the Fiction and Poetry category at the East Anglian Book Awards, are perfect examples of a literary prowess nurtured in the East Anglia landscape.
The session will be divided into discussions and exercises focusing on how you can develop your ideas around East Anglia and in what particular media you can explore them in. Jeremy, who has worked as a script editor for the BBC, Channel Four and Film Four will discuss the different fiction formats, from prose to script options, and will examine how your ideas can be fluidly developed and adapted from one medium to another.
You will be expected to bring along brief examples of your current work, taking part in exercises designed to encourage a variety of different fictional perspectives and possibilities.
Book today and see how Jeremy’s experience can broaden your horizons.
