An enjoyable and inspiring course that helps you develop as a writer, whatever your preferred genre. Be it poetry, fiction, non-fiction, or performance writing, this course allows you to explore different areas and learn new skills before focusing on your chosen area. A focus on innovation and new writing makes this course particularly vibrant, exciting and current. Unique to Newman, this course also offers a holistic approach that nurtures individual creativity as well as encouraging creative responses to a wider world. Students are encouraged to explore such questions as: what is the role of the writer in the community; can writing make a difference (to ourselves and to others); is creative writing valuable or viable in the ‘real world’?
