<p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><b>Creative Writing</b> <b>Monday eves</b></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><b>6.30 -8.30 pm</b> Stroud Green, north London N4</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;"><strong>Cost:</strong> £76 payable in advance for 12 weeks</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;">If you are working on a specific writing project and/or want help developing your creative writing skills you might like to join a regular writing group. Improve your writing technique and benefit from the structure of regular workshops. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;">I am a published author, editor and critic as well as an experienced creative writing tutor. I run a writing group on Monday evenings and have a couple of spaces. I run them in blocks of 12 and we meet alternate weeks. On the days we don’t meet, you submit work to me (max 500 words) for one to one feedback via email which will give you the opportunity to explore your own methods and writing rhythms at the same time as receiving guidance and support. Members of the group are warm and committed and work in various professions.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;">We generally begin each class by reading and examining text/s that illustrate the various topics. This will be followed by writing exercises. In the final part of the session everyone reads aloud from their work.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;">This takes place in a relaxed, safe environment. It is also intended to be a fun, social setting where you can meet new people, write, and share your words with others. You will be able to write and receive feedback in a supportive atmosphere. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;">Some of the subjects we explore are character, dialogue, conflict, pace, tension, point of view, different genres, writing with intensity, climax and resolution, irony and editing. This block we will be working towards entering a short story competition. </p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 0.75em; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif;">For further info on the next course starting 20 October 2014 contact lucyjpop@gmail.com</p>
