This 12-week course explores the mechanics of great fiction through a close look at sharp prose and big ideas across genres.
Together we will reflect on what makes excellent fiction work, from the management of time to character, extended metaphor to tension. Each week will feature a discussion of a key sample text (read in advance) and a writing workshop in which participants will all have an opportunity to have their work discussed.
Personalised feedback will be given to every participant.
Anyone with previous experience in writing and an interest in writing better fiction will be most welcome!
There will be readings to do between weeks - all details will be provided in week 1.
