Writing Fiction

Get the stories you want to tell out of your head and onto the page with a structured introduction to creative writing.

Lessons will focus on narrative, plotting, character, setting, description and more, prompting participants to think critically about their work, and each week will feature a new writing challenge. 

If you’ve always wanted to write but never known how to get started, or if you’ve hit a brick wall on your writing journey, then this class is for you. 

Suitable for beginners, though all are welcome.
