Creative Writing for Beginners-Newark Buttermarket-Adult Learning

About this course

This course is for people who want to try out creative writing for the first time. We will focus on short writing exercises, and also use images and prompts to kickstart your writing. Trying out different genres and types of creative writing, including short fiction and poetry, will help develop your knowledge, and the confidence to take your creative writing further.  This course is aimed at beginners, so no experience is necessary.   

We will cover topics such as: 

- Awareness of types of creative writing – fiction/short fiction/poetry.  

- Having a go at writing in different forms  

- Techniques used in creative writing that ‘hook’ a reader and keep them interested.  

- Using prompts such as objects and images to provide inspiration for writing
