Matthew Hughes - writing workshop in Ripon
Posted by Paul Raven on July 31st, 2008 at 9:45
Attention, aspiring writers! How would you like to spend three hours in the company of a talented and renowned science fiction author, and have them run you through some of the tricks of the trade?
Yeah, me too. Unfortunately I live too far from Ripon, North Yorkshire, which is where Matthew Hughes will be sharing his writerly wisdom:
I'm doing a three-hour writers workshop for the Ripon Branch of the North Yorkshire County Library at 10 a.m., 18th August. I'll be talking about elementary story mechanics, i.e., how stories work and how the pieces fit together, and the ins and outs of writing scenes, i.e., the dreaded "show, don't tell."
For more information, contact team leader Karen Thornton at 01765 604799. The general email address for the library is: ripon[dot]library[at]northyorks[dot]gov[dot]uk
If you're located in (or even just conveniently passing through) the north of England, why not drop in and pick up some tips from the top? After all, no less a luminary than Robert Sawyer described Matthew Hughes as "sf's best-kept secret", which is a weighty accolade.
If you can't make it to Ripon for whatever reason, you can at least console yourself by pre-ordering a copy of Template, Hughes' imminent science fiction novel from PS Publishing. Click on through to the Store:
- Template (slipcased hardcover) - £50.00 ($100.00 approx.) 200 copies
- Template (hardcover) - £20.00 ($40.00 approx.) 500 copies
