Course overview
These creative writing workshops spotlight the much-written theme of love. From romantic love to family love, from love of a place or a home of long ago to the love of a pet or a ritual, we’ll learn from authors who have portrayed love in all its form – obsessive love, had and had to let go of love and soul-mate love. This workshop consists of a blend of activities: writing exercises to practice your craft; close reading of extracts from published inspirational writers and teaching points on creative writing techniques. There is an opportunity to share your fresh words in small groups and receive gentle, appreciative feedback.
Course description
Writing Love is an introduction to creative writing techniques that will help you enhance how you convey love—or the absence of love-- in your stories either in fiction or non fiction. By using extracts from Anita Brookner to Alain de Botton and Natasha Lunn we’ll explore writing techniques and imagery to write our own stories of love. We can share our fresh stories in pairs and receive gentle appreciative feedback. The workshop will inspire you to write, get words on your page and equip you with techniques to experiment with after the class has finished.
