Alice Slater
Writing a novel is hard, not just because creating a whole world with your brain is hard, but because life exists alongside it. How do you begin? How do you keep going? How do you find time? How do you know it’s the right project? What even is a draft? Arghghghgh so many questions. Get yourself on track and stay on track with this one hour workshop from Alice Slater, who manages to write despite also existing in this chaotic and busy world.

What you’ll learn

  • How to start: where to begin, how to begin, what to begin. How do you know it’s the right project? How do you find the time to start?
  • How to keep going: how to balance writing with life, how to develop a routine that’s realistic and workable, realities of writing alongside a day job.
  • How to finish: how many drafts is reasonable, what counts as a draft, when is it finished?

This event is hosted by ✨Alice Slater✨
