Creative Writing
with Gary Mepsted
Writing in any form – novel, play, short story
– can be a lonely and often painful business. This course is suitable
for both beginners and those with some experience. It offers a stimulating,
supportive and fun environment in which to share ideas, air problems and
receive practical advice and guidance on your work. If you are after honest
and constructive feedback and an antidote to that feeling of writing in
a vacuum, this is the course for you. Please be aware that the course
runs on a workshop basis, ie, exercises/projects are set and subsequent
written work brought in for discussion. There will be no writing in class.
Gary holds an MA in Creative Writing from Sussex University and has taught
many writing-related courses for local educational establishments. He
appears regularly on radio, reviewing and discussing books and literature.
Gary’s own writing includes journalism, the novel, radio drama,
and TV. He is also a director and (very occasional, and reluctant) actor.

Comment about Gary's course
"It was a great experience, tough but relaxed,
entertaining and informative. Gary lead us all through the writing process,
not so much showing us, more prodding us to learn for ourselves. We were
provided with honest appraisals of where we could improve and were supported
every step of the way with good advice and a positive idea. At the end
I was surprised at how many little writing strategies he'd plied us with!
It was really helpful working in a group environment, if only for the
support and general feedback only a group of likeminded people could provide.
Very helpful!!! Thanks."
