Discover (or rediscover) the fundamentals of fiction writing in a small, supportive group over two consecutive weekends, led by writer and teacher Genevieve Scott.

Weekend one covers story ideas, character development, story structure, conflict and narrative perspective.

Weekend two moves into dialogue, interiority, setting, scene work and pace. Each session will blend craft discussion with writing exercises, giving you a chance to apply new concepts and get words down right away!

This workshop is open to everyone and suits both new writers and more experienced writers looking for review and practice.

Visit https://ukings.ca/programs/non-credit/writing-workshops/ today for all the details and to register—because, as Genevieve says, the idea that another year may go by without you starting the fiction project that's been on your mind for years is scarier than taking the plunge!

Congratulations to Inglis Professor Stephen Kimber and community leader Russell Grosse, who will receive honorary degrees at the upcoming Installation Ceremony for President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Timothy Vine!

In a message to the King’s community, President Vine writes that “few conversations about the success of the MFA programs at King’s occur without mention of Stephen’s leadership and contributions. His colleagues describe him as principled, generous, and kind, and a writer with whom people share their stories because he is fair, fierce, and dogged in his pursuit of facts. How fortunate King’s has been to have his company and tutelage over the past four decades.”
