Have you got a true story that you're burning to tell?
It could be about you, your friends, your family, about someone the other side of the world, about our present world or about times long ago.
It could be about a mystery, a discovery, a loss, a trip, a passion – if you have a real-life event or story all you need to do is find the right words to tell it!
Creative non-fiction is among the most exciting forms of writing around, crossing a range of genres; from biographies and memoirs to travel and documentary writing, to film and music, and even cookery, history and politics.
It's a stimulating literary device that allows us to tell countless different stories from the same facts simply by our perspectives and opinions.
This introduction to creative non-fiction will help you to identify your subject and tell your story in the most compelling way possible using a range of literary techniques.
This practical course will involve plenty of short writing exercises and optional longer tasks for you to complete outside of the course, as well a trip to complete a place-writing exercise.
