Workshop - Storytelling Techniques from a Screenwriter: Turn your Thesis into a Book
New College is delighted to offer an exclusive writing workshop. James Moran is a Writers’ Guild Award-winning professional screenwriter who has designed this innovative workshop based on his interviews with top academic publishers. Designed for Early Career Researchers but any academic wishing to write for a broader audience is welcome.

Utilising James’ years of storytelling experience, this interdisciplinary workshop is practical and creative. Using examples from academia and screenwriting, it covers how to:

Narrativise complex ideas in a way that appeals to publishers and a wider academic audience.
Order your chapters and ideas.
Break through writer’s block and get your book finished.
