Creative writing class

Hi Everyone

I have been doing some thinking towards the way I write and I would like to take 1 class in creative writing just so I can see whether or not this is for me. I live in Swansea and was wondering if anyone could tell me where the nearest one is and how much it would cost just for 1 class?

Thank You

Sometimes WEA courses let you attend one of the classes to see if it is what you want. Some informal courses may well do the same. I suggest you check with your local library and also try an internet search.

Best of luck

Hello David

I'm not sure what type of single class would provide what you are seeking.

I can recommend the OU book Pauline suggested above - it can be used as a stand-alone, it has useful guidance and exercises and it is a lot cheaper then an OU course. I bought one form Amazon.

I can also recommend the short online creative writing courses by Dr Sarah Burton at Cambridge University ICE. I did the short story one earlier this year and it was excellent and reasonably priced. http://www.ice.cam.ac.uk/courses/online-courses?ref=home

If you need any other help do let me know as I have done various other courses, been to lots of workshops etc.
