In this intermediate level course, Adam Wyeth will guide you further through the numerous techniques and craft of writing: looking at pieces of literature from the inside along with developing your skills in editing and redrafting. As well as trying out new poetry forms you will look at many other genres of writing, such as scriptwriting, screenplay and short story. You will create characters, plots, settings and points of view.

Hemmingway said, ‘You can’t teach writing you can only learn it.’ And the only way to learn is to write. So you’ll be encouraged to write as much as possible, keep a notebook with you, and to create a daily writing routine. You will also be encouraged to widen your reading habits. All great writers are also great readers! The intermediate level takes you further on the journey to becoming a writer, honing your unique voice, cementing yourself as an artist so you can perform confidently and flourish.
