Language and style are craft elements that keep readers hooked to a story. This comes down to the word choices you, the writer, make. In this masterclass, the acclaimed Angolan writer Ondjaki – winner of the 2013 José Saramago Prize for his novel Transparent City – will teach you how to make language and stylistic choices that add depth and a refined narrative tone to your writing. Ondjaki’s insights, drawn from his rich experience in novels, short stories, and poetry, will equip you with tools for crafting elevated prose, unforgettable narrative voice, and shaping words into sentences that charm your readers.
