As part of Moniack Mhor’s 30th anniversary celebrations this year, we have launched a series of online masterclasses taught by respected writers and tutors, many of whom have long histories with Moniack Mhor. Whether you’re new to writing, polishing your umpteenth draft, or simply want to try a taster of a different style, form, or genre, we’re confident you’ll enjoy and be inspired by these focused shorter sessions. All hosted by Moniack Mhor on Zoom Pro, usually with an opportunity to ask questions at the end. More of these to come during 2023-24 – we’ll keep you posted! Meanwhile, enjoy …

Your Fictional Voice

Every story can be told in many different ways. What is the best way to tell yours? How do you find the right narrative voice? Whose perspective, what tone, what tense? Are you going into too much detail or not enough? How do you keep your reader – and yourself – engaged? 

This online workshop suggests solutions to these problems and others. It focuses mainly on writing a novel, but short story writers may also find it useful. It will include some quick exercises, practical advice, and a Q&A at the end
