What is the course about?
This is an exciting opportunity to fit creative writing into your hectic week.
What will we cover?
We will be experimenting with fiction, memoir and poetry, working with dialogue and descriptive language, finding sources of inspiration in unexpected places and playing with editing techniques.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to…
– appreciate how to get new ideas for writing from a wide variety of sources
– seek out new sources of inspiration
– have the confidence to push your own writing boundaries
– enjoy sharing work with other students
– understand how literary techniques can be applied to your own work.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This is for writers of every level of experience. While it is designed to appeal to those who want to practice writing in the same way as musicians practise the scales, it is also suitable for complete beginners wanting to discover the writer within.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
You will be introduced to new ideas through discussion, confidence-building class exercises and by looking at the work of established writers. Optional homework assignments will be set regularly to share in small groups. However, you will still get a lot out of this course even if other commitments mean that this two hour long session is the only time you can devote to writing.
