When we talk about a writer’s style, we usually talk about the personal flourishes that make them recognisable and distinct from other writers.

But some style considerations run deeper than that, and are useful no matter what kind of writer you are.

This masterclass led by the Whiting and O. Henry-winning author Tony Tulathimutte (Private Citizens, Rejection) will explore three of them: clichés, word choice and concision.

Mastering these concepts will rid you of unnecessary and derivative language, leaving just your own.
