Course outline
This course is for those people who have completed the first course(s) with me

and for new students with demonstrated abilities.

The course requires a creative aptitude, proven skills and commitment to producing assignments.

It is an intense 4 session course

with further creative writing writing exercises and discussion

to strengthen description, atmosphere and imagery;

we also work on several key topics each week such as contemporizing myth in writing,

symbolism and surrealism, writing creative non fiction and

strengthening editing skills by working on review and critique

as well as discussion and individual work.

Prospective students must apply by email: thewriterscentre@gmail.com

and they will be notified if they are selected.

Participation is given if I know that your writing is at a certain level or/and I believe you would benefit from the work we cover on this course.

*The course fee is higher than the previous courses due to the increased class hours and also the out of class editing time I give each student - as due to the intense course content more work is generated.

*Please note this course is NOT at Diwan, and as such registration will be via me personally and I shall arrange a time and venue to collect all advance payments before the course begins so as to confirm minimum student registrations are complete.

Many thanks 

Linda Cleary
