Introduction to Creative Writing Course (for Adults)
‘I thought the course was really good, the tasks were very enjoyable and the environment was friendly. I also felt comfortable sharing my writing. It allowed me to use my imagination freely and Kerry Ann, as the course leader, was supportive, open and encouraging . I also learned a lot.’
– Tom, course participant
During the course, you will learn about:
· Structuring stories
· Creating imaginative descriptions of place and character
· Finding your narrative voice, and using it to bring stories to life
· How to write to prompts
· How to write convincing dialogue
· Using sentence structure, vocabulary and pace to enhance your writing
There will also be time in each session for you to create beautiful, interesting and unique pieces of writing, and by the end of the course you will create your own short story.
These sessions are created to be both enjoyable and beneficial to the well-being of the course participants, there is a lot of research that demonstrates the therapeutic benefits of creative writing.
Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be provided, as well as a notebook for each participant to create in. There are only 6 places for this course, it’s important that the group is small enough for everyone to feel comfortable and so that the participants can also get to know each other a little, and feel comfortable in sharing their work (although this isn’t mandatory).
