STARTING TO WRITE

You can!

Writing is about finding the confidence to believe you can and the humility to know you must improve. This course will be a fun and practical introduction to some of the skills prerequisite for a working writer, whether in poetry or prose. Combining useful exercises, TLC, and examination of the best examples, we aim to get you back on track or, simply, on track.
