Creative Writing Masterclass Course/Class February 6, 2011

This practical and inspiring course, held in the cool and elegant setting of The Women's College, is for anyone who wants to kick-start, or deepen, their writing. Take a break to share daily writing exercises in the company of other apprentice writers, and hear some bright ideas about writing beautifully. This workshop is open to writers of all levels. Although it focuses mostly on fiction, it looks at creative writing of all kinds, including memoir and poetry. The program runs for five consecutive mornings, and each day introduces some ideas about creativity, composition, style, plotting, planning, editing and publishing. Participants have a chance to share pieces of writing they've composed overnight, thoughts about their writing progress, and their responses to the daily readings. Each day, too, the class will work on writing exercises. Some of these will take the group outside into the grounds and surrounds of the University of Sydney campus.
