Creative Writing

Tutor: Gary Mepsted

Share ideas, gain confidence and be inspired

Writing in any form – novel, play, short story – can be a lonely business. This course offers a stimulating, supportive and fun environment in which to share your ideas and receive practical guidance on your work. If you’re looking for an antidote to that feeling of writing in a vacuum, this is the course for you. During the course exercises/projects are set and subsequent written work is brought in for discussion. There is no writing in class.

Testimonials

A great course, which was well structured with plenty of constructive comment and new challenges. A real life-line but it's over too quick. Jane Briscoe

Gary pitches the difficulty level a bit beyond what you think you can manage, so you keep improving. Jo Wilkinson
