Discovering Your Inner Storyteller: A Course in Creative Writing Techniques
This course runs on Saturdays, July 22 – August 19, 11:00am – 12:00pm
If you’ve ever wanted to write a novel, short stories, or any kind of fictional narrative, but don’t know where to start, this class is for you! We will explore the principles of good writing, and focus on techniques that writers of fiction can apply to improve their work and make it compelling. The course will consist of a mix of lecture, group discussion, and in-class exercises. It can also be useful to anyone who wants to include a strong narrative element in their writing, such as those writing autobiographies or memoirs.
