Creative Writing Fact or Fiction Intensive Online Short Course

Course description

This creative writing course is not suitable for beginners. You've already taken an introductory course. Now you've developed an addiction. You can't live without your writing group. They're alert to your fictional virtues and narrative vices. And they're your best critics. Here's the chance to deepen the experience; with specific assignments, longer projects or personal work in progress. You choose. Please apply only if you have successfully completed an introductory writing course at Central Saint Martins or elsewhere.

Please bring with you to the first session:

Something to write with
Something to write on
Hard copies of your work - keep a notebook!

If you have time to write for the first class, try your hand at this assignment:

Describe a disease with loving lyricism (500 words of well crafted prose). Describe a flower with violent fear and loathing (another 500 words). Consider mood, sub-text, momentum, implicit 'back-story'...Who is the narrator? Whose perspective is conveyed?

Please bring your writing to the first class
Your pieces should be clearly written or typed - someone else will read them out
Also, please think seriously about any aspects of writing which you would like to cover this term. We can discuss these on the first night, and build them into the course.
