Creative Writing - 3
This course offers a progression from the Creative Writing term 2 course, and it is suitable for learners working at an intermediate level of creative writing looking to hone their skills and progress to publication. Learners will need to have a very good grasp of English and some experience of creative writing, at least at functional skills level 1, as the course will not cover the basics of grammar and vocabulary.
