Beginners course 6:00 – 7:30 pm
This course is suitable for those interested in creative writing. We read extracts and practice writing flash fiction, short stories, and memoir. Participants will be given writing prompts to put into practice what they have learned. Participants will be encouraged to revise and rewrite class exercises at home and present them at the next meeting. We aim to have a supportive and creative environment.

Improvers course 7:30 – 9:00 pm
The course plan is based on the idea of a “Writer’s toolbox”: some tools are essential, some you need to try, see if it works for you. We cover techniques for handling dialogue, description, voice, minimalist style, plotting, stream-of-consciousness, and even humble punctuation. Editing skills forms a crucial element of the course.
