This course is designed for both beginners and more experienced writers who are wishing to develop their own style and voice.
The course comprises of workshop-led two hour sessions in which the class will draw on exercises to unlock the individual writer’s greatest strengths, focusing on style, story and emotional resonance.
Participants will cover a variety of forms and find the one best suited to the individual, so that by the end of the course each will have a short story, opening chapter of a novel, a short story scene or poem.
The objective is to stimulate the imagination in a supportive environment and to foster a love for the writing process that will continue long after the course has ended.
