About this Unit
How do we begin as creative writers? What is an imaginative life? This is the first of two Level 1 foundation units in the Creative Writing Major. Students will be oriented in the practice and knowledge of creative writing. They will learn techniques and strategies for becoming an effective creative writer, while studying writing as a mode of imaginative thinking and response. The unit involves face to face lectures and creative writing workshops overseen by experienced and widely-published writers, critics and publishers from the Writing and Society Research Centre and the School of HCA. No previous creative writing experience is necessary.
