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.

Can they keep it in their trousers?

This video below was made in 2005 and is a synopsis of the 'Honeycote' plot. Things begin to deteriorate quickly and eventually goes slightly wrong. Is this a blooper? - Can they keep it in their trousers?

'Veronica Henry's debut has all the ingredients of a good summer read...plenty of sex, scandal and shenanigans all set in and around the Honeycote Arms.'

Review in Sunday Express

Here is part of a review of 'Marriage And Other Games'

'THERE is nothing simple about the plots or the people in Veronica Henry’s latest novel. With bags of style, they are young members of the middle class have-it-all clan.

This is a soap opera of a book, which is not surprising when you discover that the author was a scriptwriter for television dramas including heartbeat and Holby City.' read more...
