Creative Writing Workshop - Getting Published in Journals and Magazines
If it hasn't been published, has it even been written? It takes a lot of hard work to get work to a publishable standard, but navigating the world of submission calls, bios, cover letters and the thousands of possible outlets for your work is another challenge all together. In this session we'll cover the fundamentals of crafting a strong submission to accompany your creative work, whether that's poetry, prose or dramatic writing, and give you the best chances of getting published.
I'm an experienced lecturer and writer and I'm published widely. I've also edited numerous journals and been involved in all stages of the publishing process.

What is it that makes us addicted to a story? This session examines the concept of rising tension in short stories and guides you through some practical examples and activities that can enhance your abilities to write compelling plots. We'll look at how stories function in terms of plot and workshop some of your drafts to see where the narrative could be strengthened.
I'm an experienced lecturer and writer and a supportive and friendly teacher, and look forward to helping you reach your writing goals.
Great writing takes great editing, and the peer-review process has helped strengthen poems and stories for centuries. See your work from a new perspective and gain valuable feedback on taking it forward with a straightforward and in-depth critique. In this session we'll review your work, whether that's poetry or prose (short stories or novels), and you'll get a detailed critique with some practical and inspiring pointers.
I'm an experienced writer and lecturer and a patient and supportive teacher who wants to help you achieve your writing goals.
Creative Writing is an ancient and rewarding craft, and this class introduces one of the fundamentals of craft: Showing and Telling. Striking the right balance in your writing is crucial in 'recruiting' your reader and crafting a believable and compelling story world, both in poetry and prose (short stories and novels). In this session, we'll review some examples and complete some activities, as well as workshopping some of your own work.

For this, there are very specific techniques.
➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.
➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
