Cultivate Your Creativity as a Writer
Foundation Diploma in Creative Writing – Study Online
In order to become a successful writer you need to practice and nurture your craft. This is more than just learning good spelling and grammar, you also need to learn ways to come up with new ideas and sort the good ideas from the bad. You need to be able to refine the ideas you choose to expand, and to be focussed, so you can finish a project you start.
It is difficult to achieve all these things without some sort of help. In a course such as this we not only help you to develop those skills we also educate you about the industry and industry expectations and we develop networking skills. Writers can no longer sit behind closed doors working solo; writers need to network in the industry (and with their peers) so they know what is going on in the publishing world. They need to fully understand industry expectations and how to present their written work so that publishers will give it a second look. They also need to know what is currently popular – what publishers seek and what they publish.
If you want help with all this than this is the right course for you!
