About

We tend to think that a meaningful writing practice must include hours set aside every day, with ambitious word counts and project deadlines propelling us to completion on a set timeline. But for many writers, both aspiring and established, this isn’t possible, let alone sustainable. In this talk, we will examine how one builds a truly sustainable writing practice. We will consider how to meld personal reality factors with writing dreams, how to open realistic but regular writing windows, and how to both protect and maximize the time we do have.

TIFA’s Creative Writing Masterclasses offer the opportunity to learn how to craft compelling stories and bring captivating characters to life through hands-on lessons from acclaimed authors and industry experts. This is a 90-minute masterclass. All writing levels are welcome.

Masterclasses are presented in partnership with The Humber School for Writers
