Writing

Join award-winning crime novelist David Young for our Novel Writing and Yoga retreat. David is the author of seven novels, including Stasi Child which won the Crime Writers’ Association Historical Dagger for the UK’s best historical crime novel of the year, and was a top-twenty bestseller.

Throughout five teaching days, David will show you how to kick-start your fiction ideas and turn them into a manuscript to attract literary agents and publishers.

Each day’s writing workshop will include teaching from David, practical exercises, and then workshopping of your written exercises with other delegates on the retreat, which David will supervise.

Topics covered will include subjects such as characterisation, storytelling, setting, plotting, point of view, reading as a writer, writing a synopsis and chapter plan, and how to attract a literary agent.

Delegates need to be fluent in spoken and written English.
