Start writing - 10 week creative writing course for £10

As a one-off I thought I'd share one of the online courses we run at Creative Writing the Artist's Way. (http://cwartistsway.co.uk) It's a 10 week distance learning beginners course that you can complete in your own time. The materials and course were built from evening courses I'd run when lecturing at Blackburn. There are examples of writing and provide unique and lively tasks to get you looking at the world more creatively - and get you writing fiction.

A good start if you're new to writing and want to learn a few basics before coming to our workshops!

Price: usually £15, now £10

Any questions, just ask!

(I've set an RSVP date but obviously as soon as you book the materials are sent and you can start straightaway - or any point in the future.)

Creative writing: complete beginners - self study

Creative writing: complete beginners - self study: This self-study course is for complete beginners and is an expanded version of our textbook, Creative Writing for Creative People: Beginners. (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-Writing-People-Beginners-ebook/dp/B006Y0M738/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1399829137&sr=8-3&keywords=Creative+writing+for+creative+people) It includes additional exercises, examples and tutor comments to help you through the course. There is an end of course task that will get you working towards a goal for the remainder of the course, putting into practice what you have learned so far. The course is designed to aid complete beginners to Creative Writing, or to provide a quick refresher or sampler for those who are not quite ready to start one of our tutored courses. Course materials are sent as a PDF document, or you can study online, depending on your preference.
