What will the course or workshop cover and how will it be taught?

  • There are opportunities (but no obligation) to share written work.
  • Discover some brilliant books and web resources to help unleash your creativity.
  • By the end of the course, you should have the impetus and courage to write whatever it is you’ve always wanted to write. You might already have a rough draft in your hands too.
