Advanced Creative Writing Workshop

About this course

The workshop focuses on developing work in progress, including prose, scripts, short stories and novels. Participants read their own work to the class, receive considered responses from peers and the tutor, and identify strengths and areas for development. The class also involves listening to other writers’ work, analysing it and contributing to the critical discussion. Learners apply conclusions from these discussions to their own writing and consider where revisions may be needed.

What you'll learn

• Analyse texts and writing critically
• Apply conclusions from group analysis to personal work
• Identify strengths and areas for development in work in progress
