4 Week Course, Thursdays 10am-12.30pm, 25th June - 16th July
In this relaxed and inclusive writing class, everyone is welcome to write and share stories. We do a series of short, evocative exercises to get you over your writer's block and leave the class with a series of places to carry on where you left off.
Starting to Write
A course aimed at those beginning to write, but equally useful to anyone who would like a refresh!
We will look at short extracts of texts from a mixture of non-fiction, poetry & fiction, and similarly undertake prompts relevant to a mixture of genres and forms of writing. It is always beneficial to all when writers share their work with each other, but there is never any pressure to do so.
The focus for each week will be as follows:
Week 1: Voice & Character
Week 2: Inspiration & Theme
Week 3 Genre & Form
Week 4 Editing
