The aim of the workshop will be to give participants a clear understanding of how to create, garner and process ideas for creative writing, as well as to support them with techniques and approaches which will heighten awareness of structure, voice, language, tone and vocabulary.
There will be tasks designed to support individual and collaborative writing during the session. Towards the end of the workshop, there will be an opportunity for writing a lengthier piece and/or individual feedback.
