Creative Writing
If you're not quite sure which genre of writing suits you the most, our comprehensive creative writing course is a good place to start, especially for writers who have never been published before.
The comprehensive course has one key difference from the others: variety. This course will give you a little bit of everything, from short stories and articles, to romances and writing for children. It even goes beyond the printed page and shows you how to approach radio, television, and theatre. With each lesson covering an exciting new topic, you'll explore a range of genres and opportunities through the course materials and a stimulating set of assignments.
Although the course touches on several topics rather than focusing on just one, you still receive in-depth training. At the Writing School, we believe in flexibility. The study programme is never set in stone—the writing you are asked to do is adapted to suit your needs. You and your tutor will work through the lessons together and decide where your strengths and interests lie. If you find yourself enjoying one topic more than others, you have the chance to spend extra time exploring that field.
This course is a very effective way to kick-start your writing career. You'll be amazed how quickly you see your name in print!
