The Spring term saw us launch a new concept of working with students on their individual projects. We looked at the early stages of project ideas from a personal perspective, on why the projects were chosen, and how students feel embarking on the journey. This gave them a great platform to work from, feeling supported by others. We then examined research, synopsis, story arc, and archetypes to develop character wants and needs, a fundamental part of the story.

In the new Summer term, we will strike a balance, moving away from the overall planning to looking at how to manifest…

I have really enjoyed these creative writing courses and this will be my third time joining the group. Ruth has been incredibly supportive and flexible and generous with her time and knowledge. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is interested!

I loved this class! Ruth is a caring, thoughtful and creative teacher. I had no experience of writing (hadnt attempted to write since school!) but felt supported to get started and definitely improved as time went on
