Advanced Course
This course is designed for writers who have already ventured into fiction writing or have attended some creative writing classes. It is designed to inspire you, to deepen your understanding of fiction, and help you shape and structure your work.
Each session will focus on more complex areas of fiction writing such as the motivation and psychology of characters, writing in different voices, sub-plots and complex narrative structures, and writing about difficult subjects. We will be using exercises, discussion, reading and feedback to help you find new ways of tackling problems and encourage you to explore new dimensions in your fiction. Students will have the opportunity to read "work in progress" and discuss individual areas of difficulty.
Advanced courses will take place in the attractive surroundings of the New Cavendish Club, 44 Great Cumberland Place, London W1, near Marble Arch tube. Next term's courses are listed below. If you would like to reserve a place, please choose from the options below:
