Creative Writing - Level 2

Creative Writing - Level 2

In this exciting creative writing course, you will have the chance to kick-start a full length piece, formulate new ideas and realise them in fresh and dynamic ways.

Our Creative Writing Courses - Level 2 are project-based, best suited to those who wish to write the outline for a longer piece of work, be it a novel, a screenplay, a TV pilot or a stage play. This course is ideal for those who have completed our Beginners course and have the basic toolkit, or for writers looking for group feedback on a project at an early stage of development. To craft your individual piece, you will receive input from the rest of the group and notes from our experienced tutor. This will be punctuated by practical exercises, tackling common problems or stumbling blocks.

CREATIVE WRITING COURSES - LEVEL 2 CONTENT

  • Creating a first chapter or scene as a part of larger piece of fiction.
  • Practical exercises that focus on style, craft and storytelling principles.
  • Regular writing prompts designed to generate new material at an early draft stage.
  • One to one support throughout the course.
  • Devising plot, structure and narrative, both for prose fiction and live drama.
  • Sharing your own work read by others, providing constructive criticism and support.

OUR APPROACH

Like all of our writing courses , you’ll receive friendly, constructive feedback from your teacher throughout the course. The opportunity to discuss and share your ideas with a group of fellow writers can be an incredibly useful part of the creative process, helping you develop the style and scope of your writing.

Please note: fluency in English is essential for this course. If you have any special requirements please inform our Customer Services Team prior to your course start date so we can ensure we cater for these needs. You can call us on 0207 042 8833 or email info@city-academy.com.
