Extreme Creative Writing

Extreme Creative Writing is for experienced writers who have been writing for a while or who have done a course or two before and are working on their own projects. You’ll be asked to bring in six pieces of your writing for detailed feedback, including three longish pieces. All your pieces may be from the same work, such as a novel in progress, or they may be stand alone pieces. You bring whatever you want to work on. 

Besides critiquing pieces, we’ll have discussions on topics of interest to the class. 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: $264.60 + hst = $299
