Hide-Creative Writing
This course in creative writing will focus on writing fiction and prose, with an emphasis on creating a short story from idea to conception. Students will learn a number of practical writing skills including editing, restructuring of first manuscripts, exploring theme-making and plotting, settings, background and research. The course will also explore the question of “what is style” and “what are the various genres’? The development of these writing skills will be accompanied by an in-tandem exploration of several eminent writers, with an emphasis on reading. Students will be encouraged to explore questions such as “can we write a solid piece of fiction without reading” and “who are the writers that appeal to us, and why”?
