Part-Time Studies in Creative Writing
People study creative writing for different reasons: some are looking for an outlet for their creative expression; others want to document their lives as a gift for their children or grandchildren; and still others have a story to tell that they want the world to read.
Our part-time courses and workshops are designed to inspire and encourage beginners and experienced writers. They’re taught by accomplished and award-wining authors and offer a powerful combination of theory and practice.
