Writing Workshop: Write Fantasy and Magical Realism

About WorkshopCome and join us at our writing workshop on fantasy and magical realism. Along the way, screenwriter Trine Appel will tell about the difference between fantasy and magical realism and her work on the trilogy 'The Firebird'.

You will do writing exercises based on world building, concept and people gallery. In addition, Trine Appel will tell about credibility and personality in writing, as well as about the art of finding out what one's story is really about, what is the personal theme, even if one writes into a specific genre.
