Advanced creative non-fiction: turning experience into art

This course teaches advanced skills for writing, editing and polishing a pre-planned creative non-fiction project. Sophisticated crafting techniques will be taught across genres selected by the class. Students will be given the opportunity to workshop their writing, and the writing of other students on the course.

Students like: "trying out new styles"; "the level of debate & interaction with fellow students and the tutor"; "learning about how to engage readers with non-fiction"; "meeting like-minded people"; "the many tips & relevant readings the teacher gave us."
