Creative writing course
Allaboutwriting's next Creative Writing Course begins on 14 July and aims to banish mid-winter procrastination with healthy doses of creative stimulation.
The face-to-face course is run by scriptwriter Richard Beynon and novelist Jo-Anne Richards. Participants meet once a week in Parkview, Johannesburg, for ten sessions. 7:00pm - 9.30pm
The course is designed to help participants explore their creativity - and equip them with a range of essential writing skills and suits all working, and aspirant, writers - or even those with no specific project in mind, but who long to unlock their creative selves.
The course is equally suitable for those wanting to start a novel, a screenplay, or a work of creative non-fiction.
Learn to tell a story in the most dramatic way possible, to create characters that leap to life from the page or the screen and to write dialogue that positively crackles with life and energy.
Learn to choose the most appropriate point of view for your particular story, to structure scenes that advance the story and expand our understanding of your characters, to structure your story vividly enough to avoid the pitfalls of a sagging middle - and keep readers glued to the last, climactic page.
Even if your immediate objective is not a novel or screenplay, the course will help unlock your creativity and enable the real you to emerge.
Join Jo-Anne Richards and Richard Beynon on Wednesday 14 July, for the first of ten weekly sessions that will unleash your creative potential and, most important, get you writing.
