Writing 2: Imaginative Non-Fiction

If you have a story to tell – it might be an adventure, a journey, an autobiography, a triumph or a defeat – but are aware that even non-fiction needs excellent writing skills, then this is the course for you. You will increase your awareness of the formal conventions of first person non-fiction and develop critical models which will help you assess your own and others’ writing. You will create, develop, edit and finish a small body of work. You will also boost your skills in researching, drafting and editing, in presenting your work and in responding to constructive criticism. We recommend taking Writing 1: Starting to Write before embarking on this course, but direct entry is possible for more experienced writers.
