Creative Writing
Overview
The Creative Writing evening course is designed to allow students to explore the techniques involved in imaginative prose and to enhance their confidence and competence in writing. Furthermore, it can be used to encourage self-expression and to develop an awareness of the creative possibilities of language. There is also the opportunity to receive a formal SQA qualification.
Throughout the programme, students will be introduced to various types of creative writing: from autobiographical to script writing. This allows students to engage in different elements of writing output and encourages them to find an area where they feel they engage with the style and structure, providing a platform to express themselves and perhaps follow in the illustrious footsteps of Austen, Shakespeare or Doyle.
