      Want to write but don’t know how to be a writer?

      Adopting the ‘writer’ label is daunting if you haven’t tried your hand at creative writing before.

      A healthy writing practice starts with good writing habits, a systematic approach to cultivating ideas, and a strong grasp of the fundamentals of storytelling. This four-part introductory course is packed with information, practical exercises, and inspiration that will give you the confidence to call yourself a writer. This course is also great for writers looking to refresh their skills.

       In this course, you will learn:

      • How to establish a writing habit you can stick to
      • How to generate ideas and find inspiration for your next project
      • What stories look like under the hood, and how narratives work
      • Which different creative forms and media are available to you, and how they function
      • How to take a professional approach to your writing, no matter where you are in your development.

      Course Structure

      Introduction to Creative Writing is entirely self-guided, so you can progress at your own pace. Once you’ve purchased the course, the content will remain open to you permanently, meaning you can come back any time for a refresher. Course content is delivered in a series of audios, written lessons, and exercises.
