Putting pen to the paper

This course will be a chance for beginners to put pen to paper and for those with some experience to experiment with different forms and genres. One challenge for the new writer is figuring out creative strengths and how to play to them. This course will be an opportunity to try new things and get the best from what you’ve got!
