Creative writing course
Do you have an idea for a book, a screenplay you would love to be writing, a project you are struggling with, a novel in progress or an unfinished manuscript?
Here's a course designed to rev you up for a challenging writing project - or, more simply, to help you re-engage with your creative self.
Who will benefit?
* Anyone wanting to start(or finish) a novel, a screenplay, or a work of creative non-fiction.
* Those with no specific project in mind, but who long to unlock their creative selves.
What is the course about?
The course is designed to help participants explore their creativity - and equip them with essential writing skills.
We'll also encourage you to submit samples of your work for constructive assessment during a round-table discussion involving all the participants.

Each session tackles a key skill and challenges participants with carefully crafted writing exercises, to which we'll give immediate feedback. The skills focused on are:
* Finding your "voice"
* Generating ideas
* Building the narrative
* Point of view
* Building characters
* Beginnings, middles and ends
* Writing scenes
* Creating suspense
