Make the right start
Beginnings are difficult and delicate things. Often the hardest part is having the confidence to admit your own ambitions. If you've ever thought you have something to say, but never quite made the right start, this week is for you. The tutors will guide you towards finding your own way of working with words, encouraging you to try both prose and poetry to discover the secrets and challenges of each.
