Intensive Creative Writing, Tuesday afternoons, April 16 – June 25, in Burlington


Intensive Creative Writing
Ten weeks towards becoming a better writer
Tuesday afternoons, 12:30 – 2:45 p.m.
April 16 – June 25 (no class June 4)
St. Elizabeth's Anglican Church
5324 Bromley Rd, Burlington, Ontario (Map here.)
Note: There are 6 courses starting this April Welcome to Creative Writing in Burlington and Toronto, Writing Personal Stories in Oakville, and Intensive Creative Writing in Toronto, Burlington and Georgetown.  See all 6 here.
Intensive Creative Writing isn't for beginners; it's for people who have been writing for a while or who have done a course or two before and are working on their own projects. Over the ten weeks of classes, you’ll be asked to bring in five pieces of your writing for detailed feedback. All your pieces may be from the same work, such as a novel in progress or an extended memoir, or they may be stand alone pieces, such as short stories or personal essays. You bring whatever you want to work on. 
Besides critiquing pieces, the instructor will give short lectures addressing the needs of the group, and in addition to learning how to critique your own work and receiving constructive suggestions about your writing, you’ll discover that the greatest benefits come from seeing how your classmates approach and critique a piece of writing and how they write and re-write. This is a challenging course, but extremely rewarding.

Fee$184.96 + 13% hst = $209
