Creative Writing 16+

“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.”
- Clay P. Bedford -

Overview

Led by Drama (University of Bristol) and National Film and Television School graduate Rosalind, this ‘on demand’ online course is for those with a passion to develop their own creative writing and unique writer’s voice.
