E-COURSES
Take a crafty approach to creative writing and use the fabric of your
life to tell your own extraordinary stories.
The Handmade Writer e-course will help you gather together material
from every source imaginable. You will learn about the craft of writing
and how to sew these fragments together to build your own pieces of
creative writing. The e-course has been inspired by the strength of
craft communities as well as the impulse to transform everyday finds
into something amazing.
This course will focus on fiction as well as life writing as you are
encouraged to explore and examine whatever inspires you in the world
around you.
Handmade
Writer is structured as a virtual creative writing workshop. Over
six weeks, you will be challenged, find exciting new ideas, develop
your writing and begin to really see yourself as a writer.
Amy Spencer, an author, experienced
workshop leader and crafter, will be your tutor. She will set you
a writing exercise at the beginning of each week, twice weekly creative
challenges and keep you supplied with enough creative stimulus to
keep your imagination buzzing.
At the heart of Handmade Writer is a private online community space.
This is a private space where you can share your ideas and your writing
and get valuable feedback from your fellow writers. Amy will read
every word you write and give you critical feedback on all your work,
including suggestions on how to develop your writing further.
Handmade Writer is the ideal place to take your writing a bit more
seriously and will give you the motivation to find space for it in
your busy life. By taking a crafty approach, you will start using
material from your world to inspire your writing. You will be amazed
by what you can achieve and at the end of the six weeks you will want
to keep on writing.
