• Welcome to Creative Writing! I have designed this course to inspire and cultivate your creativity while honing your writing skills across various genres, including fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and drama. We will have a series of lessons, writing exercises, and workshops, that enable you to explore different aspects of creative writing. By the end of the course, we will have developed your unique voice and produced a diverse portfolio of written work. My priority is to create a supportive environment where you can experiment, share your work, and grow as a writer.
