Creative writing intensive (Term 3)

About

Learn the craft of writing short stories and poetry during this welcoming course for beginners.

From the foundations of inspiration, narrative, character and place to rhythm, breadth and purpose, we'll encourage you to unearth the creative potential of your own mind. With weekly readings and writing exercises, you will engage with a range of literature, while developing your own storytelling voice.

This introductory program will cover:

• inspiration and ideas that compel us to write
• short stories and their structure, form and function
• character depth and arc
• writing realistic dialogue
• poetry of place, inner worlds in relation to environment
• writing prompts for stimulating the imagination and silencing the inner critic.
