Places still available for upcoming Creative Writing classes

Starting on 9 October, the Creative Writing classes – which will run on Wednesdays from 7pm-9pm - are suitable for both beginners and those who are more advanced writers.

They are open to staff members, students and general members of the public.

The classes will focus largely on fiction and poetry, but the course content can also be adapted to suit individuals who would like to develop a particular area of interest. Topics covered include how to develop characters and utilising the senses in your writing.

It is a 10-week course (finishing on 11 December) priced at £50 for University students and £100 for the general public and University staff.
