Creative Writing -Tips, Techniques and Tasty Bits of Books
The “tasty bits” in question are flavourful extracts from a range of successful authors.

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

Whatever your level of experience, there is always something to be gained from studying skilled authors at work and identifying ideas and approaches that you can adapt and use in your own writing.

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