Course Description:

We intend to emphasise the joys of writing fiction and poetry. All writers, including beginners, are welcome to join a constructive workshop. There will be weekly writing exercises, book discussions, and readings from 'The Penguin Book of Modern British Short Stories', and poems in 'Staying Alive', edited by Neil Astley. A certificate of attendance, to complete your portfolio, is available for three terms' work. The course is enjoyable for its own sake, but can also serve as a useful hiatus pending a return to work or further study. Please note that Creative Writing courses do not offer structured work in essential grammar, or in improvement in the ordinary mechanics of English usage; if you have concerns about this or other matters, please check with the teacher before enrolling. Class limited to 15 students.
