Description
This unit develops ability in the writing of literary short fiction and poetry. The work of established writers will be the starting point for workshops in which students explore a range of techniques and styles through class exercises and a developing individual writing practice. Students are expected to develop sustained original creative work, and share sections of that work with the class.
