Architecture Of Storytelling A Fiction Writing Workshop by Bound India x IFP
What makes a good story work? Sometimes, it’s not the idea itself, but what you do with it.
On 17 August, IFP, in collaboration with Bound India, is bringing author and editor Kashif Mashaikh to the IFP writing community for ‘Architecture of Storytelling: A Fiction Writing Workshop.’
Known for his work in dark fiction and thrillers, Kashif is the author of ‘Mortuary Tales’, and co-author of ‘R.A.W. Hitman 2: The Assassinations.' His newest third novel, ‘Relics of Love’, releases this August!
In this session, Kashif will explore how the building blocks of a story come together, from structure and conflict to pacing, stakes and causality.
Workshop Highlights: • Understand story structure and plot design • Learn how conflict drives progression and engagement • Explore pacing, stakes and causality • Analyse popular stories through a structural lens • Develop practical tools to turn ideas into coherent stories • Explore visual style and how it aligns with your creative voice
And there’s some homework: Kashif has asked participants to watch ‘The Matrix’ before the session, so come ready to look at the film through the lens of storytelling structure.
