Natalie Jayne Clark is the bestselling author of The Malt Whisky Murders, a novel which is notable for its use of short alternating chapters written in the second person, 'you', a point of view underutilised in contemporary fiction. 

This workshop is designed to give you the tools to deftly take control of time and your narrator(s) in order to deliver pacey, layered narratives and characters that will keep your readers hooked and racing to the end.

Through writing exercises, extract analysis, and discussion, together we'll explore unusual narrative styles, ways to bend time, and structural devices to craft playful and powerful fiction that stands out from the crowd.

For fans of distinctive voices such as Muriel Spark, Iain Banks, Oyinkan Braithwaite, Ray Bradbury, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and more, we will delve into intriguing writing that surprises, compels, and delights with the power of weird.
