This course is for any newcomers: that’s beginner and experienced writers.

Whatever is your preferred genre you will find your style can be applied to the three forms of writing that we examine: Memoir, Flash Fiction and the Short Story

We enjoy various writing exercises during the session and one at home during the week.

We read published stories to learn what makes writing effective: openings, endings, word choice, description, setting, characters and much more. Lots of fun plus time given to serious writing.

We help you find your unique writing ‘voice’.

Cost: $55 for HWC members, $66 for non-members.

Feedback from past attendees:

Great to hear everyone’s “voice” on the page and learn powerful ways to improve our writing skills. Andrea
