10 week Creative Writing course for £10
This 10 week distance learning beginners course can be completed in your own time. The materials and course were built from evening courses I'd run when lecturing at Blackburn. There are examples of writing and we provide unique and lively tasks to get you looking at the world more creatively - and get you writing fiction.
A good start if you're new to writing and want to learn a few basics before coming to our workshops!
Price: usually £15, now £10
To book, just send a paypal payment of £10 to dobbs_sarah@hotmail.com or register for the course on our writing group
Any questions, just ask!
Creative writing: complete beginners - self study

Course materials are sent as a PDF document, or you can study online, depending on your preference.
