Course programme

- Inspiration in our pockets.

- Inspiration from across the globe.
- The characters in our lives.

Through a mix of writing prompts, group work, pair discussion, workshopping and formal instruction from the tutor. All writing courses at City Lit will involve an element of workshop. This means that students will produce work which will be discussed in an open and constructive environment with the tutor and other students. The college operates a policy of constructive criticism, and all feedback on another student’s work by the tutor and other students should be delivered in that spirit. For classes longer than one day, regular reading and writing exercises will be set for completion at home to set deadlines.
