Writing Children's Fiction (Accredited Course)

This module aims to introduce writers to the skills required to write fiction for children. With a focus on longform fiction, the step-by-step process of developing age-appropriate prose will be addressed, with reference to considerations such as plot, conflict, character creation and world building. Students will be encouraged to share work, reflect on insights and feedback, and apply new knowledge back to writing. Both classic and contemporary children's novels will be discussed, and although the focus lies with longer works, we will also refer to examples from picture books and fairytales.
