CREATIVE WRITING: ELEMENTS OF FICTION
Starting on Monday May 13th, we are offering an exciting new course, Elements of Fiction, which covers everything you need to know about writing fiction, as well as giving you the chance to see your work in print. This twelve-week course is designed for new and aspiring writers seeking inspiration and guidance on writing fiction. The course will provide writing exercises and advice on techniques and look at the different elements involved in creating stories.
Throughout the course we will build the layers of a story, so by the end, writers will have a framework for their own writing project. All students who attend this course will spend the first 8 weeks learning and practicing the key elements for fiction writing, and weeks 9 – 12 will focus on a particular piece of work, using editing skills and peer review to write a final piece ready for magazine publication .
Please see a breakdown of each week below.
Week One – Introduction and Descriptive Writing
Week Two – Use of the senses and imagery
Week Three – Language devices – similes and metaphors
Week Four – Character
Week Five – Setting
Week Six – Plot and narrative
Week Seven – Point of view and perspective
Week Eight – Dialogue
Week Nine – Where do stories come from? Writers consider ideas for their own project.
Week Ten – Editing and peer review
Week Eleven – Editing and peer review
Week Twelve – Editing and peer review
Presented by Dr Laura Healy, Assistant Director of Studies at MKCW.
