So, you think you can write?
Great writers are great readers who explore the limits of language and the liminal space between imagination and reality. Immerse yourself in a world of literary exploration where you'll expand your repertoire, read new literature, and experience new modes of working with language.
Throughout this course, you'll embark on an exciting journey of self-discovery and artistic growth. As you craft a portfolio of work, we will encourage you to delve into different narrative modes and voices, pushing the boundaries of your creativity. With each style you explore, you'll uncover unique perspectives and unlock the full potential of your writing skills.
From the captivating realms of transformative writing and life writing to the exhilarating adventures of travel writing and profile writing, you'll learn to wield language with precision and finesse. Lose yourself in the magical realm of poetry and craft vivid imagery with words that stir emotions and paint vibrant landscapes that shimmer on the page. Then dig deep and discover the art of personal essays, creative non-fiction, and memoir as you share your own experiences and connect with readers on a profound level.
As your craft evolves, you’ll step into the world of autofiction and blend reality and fiction to create captivating narratives that blur the lines between truth and imagination and unleash your storytelling prowess with the short story genre, mastering the art of crafting concise and impactful tales that leave a lasting impression.
Under the expert guidance of our dedicated instructor, Poppie Johnson, you'll develop a writing portfolio that showcases your newfound skills and versatility. Through thought-provoking exercises, personalised feedback, and dynamic discussions, you'll expand your horizons, read works by new authors, refine your craft, and find your unique voice as a writer.
