Hello, I'll be teaching: The Essential Beginnings: An Introductory Creative Writing Workshop, at UCLA Extension's Writers Program, for 6 weeks, starting Wednesday April 3, 2013-May 8, 2013. The workshop sessions meet in 1010Westwood Center, in Westwood, LA, CA.
This is a great beginning class that gives workshop participants the basics about creative writing. I like to conduct my workshops in a supportive and safe environment. For our textbook, we use "Fundamentals of Creative Writing" by Cecilia Brainard, Anvil.
Please tell your friends, thank you!
Please call Katy Flaherty, 310-206-0951 for more information.
Here's the Course Description:
The Essential Beginnings: An Introductory Creative Writing Workshop
Many aspire to write creatively, but few
know how
to get started. A supportive workshop for those
who wish to write for personal or professional
satisfaction, this course provides many
fundamental techniques geared to
motivate and cultivate the beginning creative
writer. Topics include writing from observation
and experience, creating dynamic characters, writing dialogue, and how
to write from different points of view. The course goal is to have in
hand a
series of short sketches or a draft of a story.
