We’re running the writing course again at Block T – has to be online due to the restrictions.

The course could be just the ticket for writers stuck in a rut, or those just starting out, those who need a hands-on approach, and those who have been working away too much on their own. We’ve had bloggers and non-fiction writers on the course before: they benefit from the techniques often thought of as belonging to fiction writing.

The course takes the approach that writing is a craft with a toolbox of techniques at your disposal.

Enhance your creative/critiquing skillset & knock your writing into shape!

Week 1: Aims and ambitions, inspiration, glimmers

Week 2: Embodied and dynamic description, effective dialogue

Week 3: Reading like a writer, styles

Week 4: Plot and struture / editing

Week 5: Editing, punctuation pitfalls
