An advanced-level short course in Creative Writing, ‘Writing Life: How to draw inspiration from the world around you to craft great stories’, is being held at the University’s Tonbridge Centre over two Saturdays, 14 October and 11 November, from 10.00-16.00. The course is available to staff at a discounted fee of £99 instead of £170.
Whatever you draw inspiration from, the tutor Dr Alex Martin-Carey will encourage you to take control of your own work and write exciting, contemporary material, and to think more deeply about both your writing and reading. You will also have the opportunity to receive feedback on your own writing from the tutor and other participants.
The following texts underpin the course:
Week 1:
- Nature: William Fiennes, The Snow Geese
- Home: Nicholson Baker, A Box of Matches
Week 2
- Self: Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit
- History: Pat Barker, Regeneration
This course is part of the Postgraduate-level taster programme at the Tonbridge Centre. Full details can be found here and in the programme booklet.
