You will learn the key elements of fiction and put them into practice in a friendly and supportive group. The four weeks will cover everything you need to know if you want to start writing. The course includes

• coming up with ideas and basic decisions (genre, point of view and tense)
• character creation and conflict
• structure
• scenes and plot
• showing instead of telling

This four week course is ideal for beginners who are keen to learn writers' secrets and launch into prose – either short stories or something longer. All you need is a notebook (paper or IT) and a pen.
