Do you have a writing project? Do you want to start one?
We will concentrate on developing new ideas and finding the best way to express them. Each week we will explore a topic or skill and will extend this into a weekly home study task. Students will share their work in the group for discussion and constructive feedback.
In the course you will:
Learn and practice new skills and techniques
Challenge yourself to extend your range and 'voice'
Produce work every week and share it as part of the learning process
Keep a portfolio of work produced, culminating in a sustained mini-project.
