Doing Creative Writing is the ideal guide to what you should expect, what will be expected of you and how you can get the most from your course.

It clearly and concisely outlines:

the contexts

for creative writing courses, explaining where the subject has come from and why that matters

the content, structure and delivery of the courses

helping you to understand how your course will be shaped, what you will be asked to do and why

the skills you will develop

from self-discipline and time management through to the organization of ideas, reading as a writer and editing

possibilities beyond the course

showing how you continue to benefit from what you've learned.

Drawing on years of teaching and writing experience, as well as interviews with a wide range of students, Steve May provides all the background, advice and encouragement you need to embark on a creative writing course with complete confidence and to get maximum benefit from every writing session.
