Using in-class exercises, and take-home assignments this course focuses

on the nuts and bolts of creating narrative fiction, such as point of view, characterisation, structure, theme and creating scenes through dialogue.

You will look at ways to build writing into your lifestyle, and the process of editing and rewriting. You will also have fun with words, and create a deconstruction/collage piece. There is an opportunity to workshop, enabling you to feel comfortable sharing your work, as well as benefiting from valuable feedback.

You will work towards a final piece of 1-2,000 words, to read at the final class during a night of readings. Students who wish to continue with their creative writing in a supportive environment, may choose to graduate to the Literary Kitchen Writers Workout.

Anna Mazzola, whose novel The Unseeing, began life in a Creative Writing for Beginners course in 2011, on Short Story Sunday says ?I?ve always loved books, and I studied English. I began writing four years ago, a beginner?s creative writing course with the fantastic Literary Kitchen, and I?ve been writing ever since.?

?This tightly structured and thoroughly entertaining course was a revelation, encouraging experimentation, with timed exercises and playful collaboration with the other students. I am hooked and am not only beginning a writing habit, but I have enrolled in the next course!? Tessa Brown, Dec 2014
