Creative Writing Stage 1
5-week online course
Creative Writing Stage 1 is one of the most popular courses at the Sydney Writers' Centre. If you want to explore the world of writing - but are not sure where to start - this course will enhance your creativity.
Maybe you want to write short stories, a family history or turn your journal into something more. We'll help you get started. This course is ideal for people who want to explore writing fiction, short stories or perhaps, one day, a novel. This creative writing course will teach you how to:
- kick-start the creative writing process
- tap into your imagination
- draw from everyday experiences and memories
- examine different types of creative writing
- give structure to your writing
- use characters and dialogue
By the end of the course you'll improve your creative writing skills and have the confidence to pursue your own writing projects.
This online course is the same as the Creative Writing Stage 1 course conducted in the training rooms of the Sydney Writers' Centre. You're able to take part in this interactive web-based course even if you don't live in Sydney or can't get to the Centre.
Lessons are delivered via our password-protected classroom. You and your online classmates are encouraged to participate and ask questions online. The presenter will answer your questions online as well. You are also encouraged to submit pieces of work which the presenter will give you feedback on. You need high-speed internet access (cable or ADSL) in order to participate in this course.
Your virtual classroom
You can attend the virtual classroom any time, any day of the week. This way, you can fit your learning into your schedule and lifestyle. You do not have to commit to a set time each week. However, you MUST complete each module during the week specified, or you won't get the most out of the course. Each week builds on the one before and you have the opportunity to ask questions and make comments about the topics we discuss each week.
How much time should you commit each week?
You need to commit a minimum of 2 hours a week. Beyond that, we recommend that you put into practice what you have learnt that week. While you are expected to commit to a minimum of 2 hours a week, we won't hold you back if you are super keen and want to spend much more time than that on your writing. We are happy to give you feedback on any writing you do during the course.
