Writing Fiction is taught through a series of intensive workshops. The module gives students the opportunity to develop their own prose writing and creative practice while working alongside other practitioners. It explores contemporary practice in relation to the history of fiction, enabling students to develop their own work in relation to a better understanding of the forms and structures of contemporary prose writing. Students will learn how to make best use of the drafting, revising and editing process of creative practice.
