Workshop given by: Veronica Henry – Keeping all your balls in the air

Veronica has written 100s of hours of broadcast TV (credits include Holby City, Heartbeat, Doctors, etc). She’s also a hugely successful novelist, with seven novels to her name. She specialises in strongly-written, character led dramas.

Life has multiple protagonists – so why not fiction? Unfortunately, too many actors can cause your story to fall apart. Using her experience as scriptwriter and novelist, Veronica will show how to structure multi-protaganist fiction and give all the characters a satisfying emotional journey.
