Creative Writing - Tips, Techniques and Tasty Bits of Books Second Course
The ‘tasty bits’ in question are nourishing extracts garnered from an array of successful authors.

Favouring the exciting work of a number of contemporary American writers this autumn, excerpts will be sampled for how they can help to strengthen and refine, add texture and detail, to your own creative projects.

Whatever your level of experience, there is always something to be gleaned from getting up close to masters at work and picking up on ideas, approaches, that you can then adapt and use in your own writing.

This is the second part of this course, but it’s also a stand-alone unit: you don’t need to have attended the first part to join.
