Creative Writing


You will learn about the structure and core of what makes good writing. Learn the Five Elements of a Story and how to apply them whether you are writing 50 words of flash fiction or a 50,000 word novel. Writers will develop characters, plot, theme and settings, while getting to grips with dialogue and pace, titles and endings and much more. This is a 'hands-on' course with writing exercises every session giving writers the chance to have their work critically assessed in a friendly and supportive environment while offering literary friendship to their classmates.
