Creative Writing (A Tasting Plate)

Description

How often have you said, ‘I wish I could write’? There are many different kinds of writing. Starting is easy so why not give it a go by joining this creative writing ‘tasting plate’.

Each week we’ll focus on a different area of fiction or creative non-fiction. By the end of the programme, you’ll have tried your hand at writing a short story, a narrative poem, a travel memoir, a personal essay drawing from your life, an interview article, a story for children, a short film script and a piece of historical fiction.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
• Create works of fiction 
• Develop creative non-fiction text 
• Explore the natural inner spirit of writing 
• Discover your unique writer’s voice 
• Reflect on your own experiences in writing 
• Investigate different writing strategies
• Discover where your personal writing passions sit and what works for you.

Bring pen and paper or a laptop. 

This course is designed to help you improve your skills, to develop your unique writer's voice and to encourage you to take risks on the page.

It is not a course where you'll be asked to read your work out loud, critique other writers work, or hand in your writing to the tutor. This is a safe place where you will be supported to do what writers do best - write.

Note:

Courses need a minimum number to go ahead so if we don't have enough enrolments a few days before the start date, we have to cancel. We'll let you know by email so please check yours regularly.
