Is this course for me
Creative writing techniques can be used in a far wider setting than we might expect. Apart from the obvious uses in fiction, drama and poetry, it can also be used to enhance work-based skills and to help develop self- confidence.
On this course in Tunbridge Wells, we will cover a range of techniques for improving techniques and applying creativity. By the end of the course you will:
• have learned some new techniques and refined others
• identified some your strengths and weaknesses
• worked to become a more effective written communicator
• kept a portfolio of work
• shared your work and given and received constructive feedback
There will be a mixture of tutor input, discussion and practical written exercises. Each week some work for home study will be set and discussed the following week.
