Characters are at the heart of good storytelling. In this workshop we
will explore the art of characterization and use short-burst and more extended
writing exercises to develop characters of our own and make a start on a short
story.
Martyn Bedford wrote five novels for adults before publishing ‘Flip’,
his first novel for teenagers and young adults.
Martyn Bedford’s debut novel for young adults, Flip, won four regional prizes and was
shortlisted for the Costa Children’s Book Award. His second, Never Ending, was nominated for the
Carnegie Medal and his third, Twenty Questions
for Gloria, is being published in spring 2016. He is also the author of
five novels for adults and numerous short stories. Between them, his books have
been translated into fifteen languages. A
former journalist, Martyn lives in West Yorkshire with his wife and two
daughters and is a senior lecturer in creative writing at Leeds Trinity
