Introduction to Creative Writing Part 2 follows on from Part 1 but newcomers are very welcome.

This set of six sessions builds on the fundamentals of storytelling, looking in detail at ways to develop a sophisticated narrative and a sense of what your writing communicates to a reader. As with Part 1, the emphasis is on supporting you as a writer in a friendly, positive and constructive environment where we all learn from each other.

Week 1) What kind of writer am I? A look at genre.

Week 2) Character relationships – friends and enemies.

Week 3) Themes and motifs.

Week 4) Flash/short story/novella – thinking about form.

Week 5) Fiction and life-writing, fiction in life-writing.

Week 6) Me and my reader.
