Imagine creating characters who share among them powerful magnetic-like forces fuelled by needs and desires, knowledge and power. With a character network in a narrative ecosystem, the closer they are drawn together, the greater the dramatic tension.

Join 2025 Booker Prize-longlisted author of Endling Maria Reva in this unique masterclass as she guides you through this technique and how to apply it to your creative project.

In preparation, attendees are asked to read two provided stories from Reva’s lauded story collection, Good Citizens Need Not Fear (“Letter of Apology” and "Bone Music") and in the session she will share the original ambitions for the stories, why they didn’t work on the page, and how she evolved them in the drafting process.
