Writing is (as Ernest Hemingway put it when writing about how Paris inspired his work) 'a moveable feast' which enables writers to develop their ideas and imagery over time. If you have creative writing skills and wish to develop them, or if you're new to writing and want to learn accessible ideas alongside like-minded participants - then come along and join this friendly course. Taught by an award winning published writer, this course uses exercises in both poetry and prose to explore how to make the most of the written word.
Course aim
