Starting to Write

Dream it, Do it

Are you interested in writing poetry and prose and would like to experiment more with both? Do you have a passion for all books? Are you writing prosey poems or even prose which is packed with image and metaphor? This course would suit those new to writing either form and who would like to take their first steps towards writing creatively.
