Part Time Creative Writing Flash Fiction CRWR11AF

Creative Writing - Flash Fiction - CRWR11AF

Is the course for me?
This term's course concentrates on writing short fiction up to 1000 words. This is an excellent way of developing your story writing skills. Flash fiction has a growing market fuelled by what has been described as our "coffee break culture". Flash fiction is a complete story that can be read in around 15 minutes. The course aims to provide a supportive environment for all writers and would-be writers.

What will I learn?
We will be looking at the fundamentals of story writing; developing ideas and themes in class to build story lines on; looking at and reading examples of short fiction in different genres; writing stories at home to bring along for group discussion; researching outlets for short fiction; putting together a short collection so that you can see yourself in print.

How will I be assessed?
There is no formal assessment but you will get positive and supportive feedback on your work.

What can I do after the course?
It depends on your ambitions. You could do further short courses, join a writing group, progress to a qualification course such as GCSE English, or use your work as part of a portfolio to join an Access course or even a Creative Writing degree course.
