"Listen, do you want to know a secret" Of this workshop, Joy says…. “Secrets can be the bedrock of captivating stories. They are versatile. As writers we can decide what they are, when to share them and who with. We can build up tension by letting the reader know the secret before the character who most needs to know. Or save the secret to the very end of the narrative. We could personify a secret and let it tell its own story. We can use the secret to blackmail another character or as a form of control. Tricky things, secrets. Let’s have some fun with them.” (Includes: Creative Writing Workshop with a former Cheshire Poet Laureate, Park Entry and Garden Entry)
