FOCUS ON… Flashbacks and Memories Writing flashbacks and memories into your story can add another dimension to your characters and your plot. It’s a great technique that can bring your story to life – if it’s not done well, it can be very jarring to your reader. This seminar will teach you what you need to know to make flashbacks and memories flow seamlessly in your story. For more information on this seminar you can go to the course page HERE.

“This seminar exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend attending Focus On sessions because they deliver information on writing techniques in bite-size pieces, allowing us to absorb and practise it before learning more.”

FOCUS ON… Dual Timelines Does your story live in more than one time? Managing two or more timelines can be tricky. Understanding how each timeline impacts the other may befuddle even the cleverest author. For more information on this seminar you can go to the course page HERE.

“Lots of excellent advice on tense, pacing and voice. I found these fascinating and loved the diagrams, which I definitely will use. Go for it! You’ll learn so much.”

FOCUS ON… Avoiding Infringement explores how to write about real people, events and places in your novel. You want your writing to be authentic and believable, but how much creative licence can you take when you are writing about facts in a fictional world? What if you are inspired by other people’s work and want to reference their work in your story? Like song lyrics, movie lines, other books and so on. What are the rules around using real quotes, ideas, characters, settings, real people, historic events…especially if you want to change them? This seminar will cover all that and more. For more information on this seminar you can go to the course page HERE.

“I wanted to have a guide as to what I could and couldn’t use in terms of lyrics, quotes and pop culture. AWC is a goldmine of information, especially for people like me who are new to writing. I have found the courses accessible and the focus on sessions so helpful to ask questions and gain information from experienced writers sharing their knowledge and expertise.”
