Course Overview

The course provides the opportunity to develop your character and characterization skills, exploring where and how to manage pace, plot, and storyline. You will learn to decide what has to stay and what can go. Example passages from different periods and genres will help you to consider changing dialogue conventions and look at how to bring a setting to life with economy and force. Your tutor will suggest deadlines to keep you progressing between classes and give realistic advice on ways to find an agent, if thats what youre after, and get published. Youll be encouraged to write a minimum of 2000 words each week within a framework that makes sense. The creative impulse is very much an element of this learning experience, where you will be encouraged to maintain a healthy imagination and receive ongoing support at all stages.
