Halloween is by far my favorite holiday of the year. So I figured why not celebrate by talking about my favorite things: Villains.

I’m going to run my first ever LIVE writing craft masterclass. In this 2-hour ish session, we will have a structure presentation, a Q&A opportunity as well as exercises done live in class to help you craft the perfect villain.

The class will be recorded. This is so that after the class all attendees will have access to the recording and materials to rewatch at their leisure. So the slide deck, transcript, audio, video, and cheat sheet will be available to you forever. [Though give me a week or two post class to get those things loaded]. Interested?

FAQ

Q. Do I have to dress up, steal candy from children and drink poison?

A. I mean no… but where’s the fun in that?

Q. What if I can’t attend?

A. A replay will be available to all those who register.

Q. I don’t like my face appearing on zoom, especially if the session is recorded.

A. No problems, Zoom enables you to have your camera and microphone switched off. I’ve changed the settings to reflect that so everyone will join with mics and cameras off. It’s up to you if you choose to turn your settings on.

Q. If I don’t attend live and don’t purchase the live session will I be able to learn in my own time at a later date?

A. Yes. I’m recording the session and it will be available as a mini masterclass but at a higher price of $99.

Q. What if I change my mind and want a refund?

A. Sure, no problems. You can get a refund right up until 48 hours before the live class. This is because I’m limited on numbers and want those that can attend to secure a place.

I feel like a school girl at a backstreet boys, Spice Girls, Boyzone, Take that, fuck it showing my age Justin Bieber concert. But…. here is our next big announcement…. *Drum Roll Please*

Ha… just kidding, first, we must do some thank you’s, and yes, I could have done them at the end, but where’s the fun in that? This way, I am still making you read on…and on…. and the tension is building. Unless of course, you got fed up with my blatant time wasting and skipped to the end.

Anyway, my heartfelt thanks go to Geoffle and Rachel for helping to organise this for us, without them this wouldn’t be happening.

I am totally super excited to announce…………………………………………………………..
