Creative Quests: An Introduction to the Writing of Fiction, Poetry and Scripts

The module will introduce creative writing students to the main forms of imaginative writing: fictional prose, poetry, and script-writing. The reading of key literary texts for inspiration and guidance will be combined with opportunities for students to write frequently and to attempt forms they may not have tried before. Each week we will explore different techniques, developing skills not only in writing but also in critical analysis of texts. No previous literary knowledge is necessary, just the willingness to read and the imagination to write.
