About VOICEBOX: FORMULATE PLOT, STORY WORKS
Is there a formula for writing a bestseller? Join comedian and founder of The Alternative Book Club Shirley Halse for a slightly scientific (deeply unqualified) investigation into what really makes a story work. Shirley delivers the world's shortest reviews of some of our fave reads before attempting to engineer the plot for a novel in real-time. Nothing is safe, not even the classics.
Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Science Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
