We’re living in a golden era of narrative, in which high-quality films, books and TV series are proliferating and cross-fertilising.

To compete, we need to make viewers feel like participants in our stories, not just spectators of them.

But writers often underestimate the possibilities available when formulating their tales.

Themes, emotions and questions can be deeply embedded in ways which make stories gripping and help to define structure, characterisation and visual/sound design, ensuring that they work together to support the story.

This workshop will show writers in all genres, in scripts and prose, how to design compelling narratives which harness deep psychology to draw viewers in and open up rich psychological spaces.

It will give you the tools to design narratives with suspense, emotion, surprise and satisfaction.

The workshop is illustrated with carefully-chosen clips. You'll have a chance to discuss each issue in detail and do written exercises to make sure that you’ve mastered them.

Preparation will involve reading a short story before the day.

Tutor: Ian Long

Feedback from the workshop:

"Very to-the-point and detailed ... I would recommend it to a wide range of writers who are working on diverse projects."

"I'm now thinking about my stories in different ways, and how I can apply what I've learnt."

"Good for provoking new ways of thinking about your projects."

"It covered the topic well, with lots of interesting and useful clips to emphasise key points."

We can arrange them very quickly. You get expert advice when you need it. You can put ideas and questions directly to your editor. It doesn't matter where you are - no travelling needed.

Having a dedicated team of expert editors means we can always find someone whose knowledge and experience fits your project

We can help you with questions like:

I've got an idea - but is it worth developing?
Would it work best as a TV series or stand-alone film? I know something is wrong with my script, but what is it? And how do I fix it?

How do I prepare for a meeting with a producer, put together a pitch or write an outline? I've been working on my story for so long I've forgotten why I started. Can you re-inspire me?

It costs just £50 per hour - and you can get a LOT done in an hour (if we need to read your material first, we'll have to charge for this, as well - but we try hard to keep costs to a minimum).

Wherever you are in the world, a sympathetic and helpful Euroscript editor is just as close as your computer.
