Teaching Creative Writing

Some people say:

“you can’t teach creative writing − writers are born.”

This is not true. We are born with boundless imagination, but what we do with it, how we harness it to create the magic of stories can be taught. The techniques and the craft of writing can be learnt in the same way as artists, musicians and actors must learn their craft.

Imagine the inspiration and satisfaction to be gained from spending time with others who share a love of creating stories. Writers pursue their ideas and dreams alone. Classes or workshops offer an opportunity to leave the pen or the PC behind and meet and share ideas with people who share that lonely path.
