The 60 minute writer

About this course

Participants write in response to ideas designed to take their work in new directions. The informal rolling format treats creative writing as an ongoing practice, comparable to regular technical exercises in music, rather than focusing on a single project or genre. Learners may share their writing in class, and are encouraged to give advance content notes if shared work includes potentially sensitive material.

• Respond to creative ideas by producing original writing.
