Description
In this subject, you will have the chance to harness your creativity and explore a range of approaches, styles and genres to help you find, research and tell compelling stories. You will also receive industry-insider guidance on making your work compelling and publishable. This subject covers the foundations of writing fiction and creative non-fiction, including theme, character, dialogue, plot/structure, voice, style, imagery, location/setting and a range of literary devices. Tutorials take the form of supportive writing workshops where students are encouraged to experiment with various approaches to help find, develop and refine their own voice and writing style. You will also learn how to critically evaluate the work of other professionals and have the chance to practice self-editing and workshopping with an editor (your tutor).
