Writing Resonant Fiction

Writing Resonant Fiction will be a practical session based on discussion and writerly experimentation. In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to mull over ideas of what resonance actually is and how it works, supported by examples from literature. Kate will also provide you with a series of writerly experiments designed to serve the intuitive spark of resonance.
