Creative Writing. A practical approach

Sedes de realización del curso: Barcelona

This short course will hopefully familiarise students with the very basics of writing fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction in english. In a much larger sense, the course should enable students to strengthen their ability to use written language for expression and communication purposes. The course will be conducted in ten workshops, where students will produce their own weekly writing exercises as the main object and basis for class discussion. However, we will also discuss well known published authors in our way to understanding how literature, in a very broad sense, works.
