If you have always wanted to write but are not sure where to start, then join us on our creative writing course being held over five weekday mornings during the Festival.

Each class is a mixture of lecture, discussion, and applied writing. The course is opened to all levels, meaning that each session can be tailored to your own goals.

Maximum 30 people.

Monday: Introduction/Getting Started

Tuesday: Character Development

Wednesday: Writing Dialogue

Thursday: The Plot

Friday: Editing/Getting Published
