This course takes a student-centred approach to creative writing, offering a range of strategies to help you develop as a writer, and encouraging you to value your own resources of memory, observation and voice. The emphasis is highly practical, with exercises and activities designed to ignite and sustain the writing impulse. The course has a five-part structure. An introduction, The creative process , shows ways of harnessing the unconscious and building a daily discipline. This is followed by demonstration and practice of the three most popular forms – Writing fiction, Writing poetry, and Life writing, including biography and autobiography. The concluding part, Going public, aims to demystify the world of agents and publishers, teaching you how to revise and present your work to a professional standard.
