Fiction Writing Courses

Alex Said:

fiction writing courses Markham ontario?

We Answered:

I expect they are very good, but I have never heard of a successful author who attended them, - most people either just wrote, or attended university before writing. It's better to go on a course run by a university, the best one you can find.

fiction writing?

We Answered:

Many colleges and universities offer online extension or adult continuing education courses. In California (don't know where you're located) for example UC Berkeley offers writing courses both in classes and online. Any big college/university will have a similar program.

A well-known program is the Gotham Writers Workshop, mentioned by someone else. You can find out more about that here: http://www.writingclasses.com/

Another possibility is Media Bistro's eclasses: http://www.mediabistro.com/courses/defau…

Whether the classes are good depends on your expectations, the instructor, and your classmates. I have found writing classes (outside of graduate school) to be pretty hit-and-miss. But what you almost always gain is being exposed to books and stories you may not have read before, and you usually end up learning how to better critique good/bad writing.

Good luck.

Has anyone used stonebridge fiction writing course?

We Answered:

Just take a creative writing course at your local community college. They will teach you a lot, even if you are already a good writer. Very nice tips and feed back is always given by a knowledgeable instructor.
