Creative Writing Courses with Colin

The creative writing process is fun and imaginative, yet complex and systematic.  Learning to successfully write creatively goes far beyond simply having a good imagination.

Throughout the 2020 and 2021 school year we will be offering short 5-week creative writing courses each with their own specific focus and objectives.  Together, these courses combine to create a thorough, complete preparation which allows children to expand their imagination while developing their writing skills.

Each 5-week course is run separately and students can choose between all, some or a just a single course.  Participation in previous courses is not required as each course has its own specific objectives and activities.
