Over the course of the semester students will be introduced to the writings of fiction and poetry. The workshops will focus on the practicalities of writing, editing and giving and taking criticism of work - as opposed to personal criticism. Students will be expected to produce fiction extracts/stories or drafts of poems for discussion and criticism and to work on developing these extracts in the light of that criticism. Students will also look critically at the work of established writers, with an emphasis on the importance of the story in fiction.
