Writing Magic Realism Workshop

by Victoria Carless

Description

I have always included an element of magic realism in my stories. It’s a genre I love as a reader but it’s also a tool we can use as writers to weave metaphor into a work or deal with tricky ideas in a less overt way.


Topics Covered

This workshop will help you explore magic realism via:



  • Setting
  • Character
  • Story and Plot
  • Symbol structure

Note, this can be tailored to fiction or theatre writing.
