Creative Writing - 3
The intent of this course is to build upon your writing skills with a view to publication, an excellent creative activity to support your wellbeing. You will undertake longer and more demanding writing projects and complete an independent writing project in your chosen medium (poetry, scriptwriting or fiction). It is suitable for learners working at an intermediate level of creative writing, having ideally attended the previous two term's Creative Writing courses.
You 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.
