Creative Writing Introduction

Anyone can tell a story.  Imagination is something that we are all born with.  But taking what is in our imagination and crafting it into something that others want to read is a learned skill and it’s a lot more than just learning the rules of punctuation and grammar.

Learn how to turn ideas and concepts in your imagination into a story to be shared in written format.  From writing colourful characters that leap off the page through to engaging plots that keep the page turning, this course explores the fundamentals of writing fiction and creative non-fiction.

This course is designed for beginner and new writers and learners only need a story idea and a willingness to learn.
