Taster lecture: creative writing

Session time: 16.15-17.15

How do writers shape their initial ideas into stories? This interactive session will work with writing prompts from UEA’s Creative Writing degree courses and explore how to develop narratives beginning with a discussion about your responses to the Journeys activity outlined in Preparation/Pre-Reading below.

Using point of view and other building blocks of constructing stories, the session will help unlock ways of transforming your ideas into fictional shape.
