Writing sessions, workshops and webinars

Now that my manuscript for The Last of the Summer Vines, is finally done and with my editor, I'm turning my focus back on YOU.

That means I'm not only available once more for coaching, but I've also prepared a schedule of exciting workshops and writing sessions for the next few months.

Starting on Monday 12 February, I'll be teaching a month-long online course on Narrative Structure through Savvy Authors. At only $40 for an entire month of interactive lessons, that's a massive bargain!

Next up is my new Beginner Basics Webinar series - a series of ten online sessions looking at basic writing craft. Each webinar costs R150 ($15) but book for the entire series and you pay only R1,000 ($100).

And now is where you get to have your say: what weeknight would you prefer to attend a one hour webinar in the comfort of your own home?

Finally, I'll also be doing an in-person series of workshops on how to Build a Novel. This 5-part series covers writing a gripping beginning, the Fun & Games part of the novel, surviving a Saggy Middle, the rising action to the book's climax, and creating a resolution that will leave the reader begging for more! Sessions take place fortnightly in Randburg, Johannesburg on Saturday mornings. The cost is R320 per session, or R1,500 if you book for all five workshops.

But that's not all - there are also monthly Thursday evening Wine Writers sessions, and monthly Thursday morning Coffee Club sessions. These events include drinks and snacks, writing exercises and the chance to get feedback from other writers in a relaxed, social setting. These sessions take place in Randburg, Johannesburg.

If you are interested in taking part in any of these workshops or writing sessions, please contact me on romy@sommer.co.za for further information.

Keep an eye out for my new novel, The Last of the Summer Vines - it goes on sale in June already!
