Discover the rituals and approaches that
successful fiction writers use
On this online course, established writers – including Louis de
Bernières, Patricia Duncker, Alex Garland, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Tim Pears,
Michèle Roberts and Monique Roffey – will talk about how they started writing.
You’ll consider the rituals of writing and keeping a journal;
learn how to develop your ideas; reflect on your own writing and editing; hear
writers talk about their approach to research; and start turning events into
plot.
You’ll also have the opportunity to review the work of fellow
writers and receive comments on your own, learning to read as a writer and
respond to feedback.
