Everyone has a story to tell, whether a work wholly of the imagination or something developed from the experience of life.
On this course we will take you on a journey to find or further develop ways to express your ideas in writing, either in the form of a short story or a passage from a longer piece of work.
Our evening course seeks to educate the imagination and equip you with the technical and practical know-how to fulfil your writing aims.
At the end of the course you will have:
- produced a written piece of between 1,000-2,000 words which will take the form of a self-contained short story or a chapter of a novel or memoir;
- identified, or further developed, ideas towards the production of a piece of writing;
- explored key writing techniques, methods and forms that relate to your own interests and skills as a writer.
On this interactive, discussion-centred course, teaching is delivered in a friendly and guided environment offering the necessary positive and constructive criticism appropriate to the emerging work of each member of the group. The sessions will be further supported by short extracts from great works of fiction and books on the craft, drawn from a diverse community of writers.
This course is normally offered termly and has a maximum capacity of 12 students per course and term.
If you prefer a daytime class, this course is also offered on Friday mornings.
