Creative Writing - Evening Course

Monique Roffey

Through the use of in-class exercises and take home assignments, this beginners’ course will focus on the basic elements of good writing. Each student will work towards creating clear, expressive prose which demonstrates the virtues of economy and directness, as well as good use of detail and dialogue. There will be a strong workshop component to this course, which will enable students to become comfortable reading and sharing their work as well as benefiting from valuable feedback. There will also be lectures and discussions on technique with particular emphasis on point of view, characterisation, structure, and the process of editing. Students are encouraged to keep a journal throughout the duration of the course. Not only will this course help with writing skills, wherever they may be applied, it will aid with clear thinking and clear expression in other areas and disciplines.

Monique Roffey is a novelist and short story writer. Her first novel, ‘Sun Dog’ (Scribner), received widespread favourable reviews and was published in the US. Her second novel ‘The White Woman on the Green Bicycle’ will be published in 2008. She has tutored for Arvon, run workshops at festivals and contributed to the Creative Writing Course at the Open University. She is currently RLF Fellow at Sussex University.

Theodore Said:

Do you need textbooks for a university introduction creative writing course?

We Answered:

You may not need any, or the instructor may give you a choice of books. You will need to wait until the first session of the class to find out. Do not email the instructor about the question. The instructor does not want to receive any emails on this topic and certainly does not want to receive an email about it from every student!
