CHARACTER will be the subject of a writing workshop with author Richard Skinner, at the Richard Jefferies Museum in Swindon.

Richard, who is also director of the Fiction Programme at Faber Academy, says the workshop is designed to help writers of any level turn the characters in their stories into living, breathing citizens.

The workshop takes place on February 17 from 2pm to 5pm at the museum in Marlborough Road, and costs £25. To book, visit www.richardjefferies.org.
