This course will cover all forms of writing and will be flexible in content to accommodate the needs of the group. The aim is to help develop and channel your writing ability, whether as a hobby or for publication. The emphasis is on individual development. All forms are included, notably short stories, novels, plays, feature articles, poetry, autobiography and memoirs. You will be invited to read your work and have feedback in a constructive and friendly setting. We will have discussions on many aspects, such as shaping short stories, writing poetry, creating characters and using dialogue and description to make your work alive. We will consider some excerpts from published writers to assess their skill. There will also be short writing projects in class. Suitable for beginners and improvers. All you need is an interest in developing and enjoying creative writing skills. Work in progress can be brought to the first meeting but is not essential.
