Creative writing is any form of writing that expresses thoughts and ideas in an imaginative way. It could be an epic science fiction novel set in an imaginary galaxy, or it could be the screenplay for a romantic comedy set in modern-day New York.
On this free taster session you’ll learn about how to write creatively, including using mind maps to plan out your work and you’ll write a short piece of flash fiction to take home. You’ll also find out more about our adult education centres and get to meet some of our team.
Enthusiasm to learn more! You do not need to have any previous experience or knowledge of creative writing to join this course.
Please bring along a notebook and pen. We are following safety guidelines so, at the moment, we are unable to provide these for you.

On this short try course you will learn more about creative writing, including how to use mind maps and how to write a piece of flash fiction. You will also find out more about other courses that are available, should you decide that you want to continue to learn more.
