Introduction to Creative Writing – Online

Complete at your own pace! You are guided through the modules of the course via ZOOM and email by your own personal, one-on-one tutor, an internationally published author. 

 

 

The course is intended to introduce you to the skills and techniques that make story-telling so enjoyable. You might already keep a journal, or have written some poetry or short stories, but would like to discover the tools professional writers use to make their work publishable. 

 

Author David Howard shows you how to create powerful scenes; how to knit these scenes together into a riveting story; how to show rather than tell; how to write sizzling dialogue. 

We also look at the musicality of language, and the poetic effects that create memorable sentences. You will learn the five common traps that beginner writers fall into. As you progress you will begin to discover your own authentic voice.
Your work is received and reviewed in a supportive way but with constructive feedback. By the end of the course you will have completed a story of your own choosing.

Thirty Creative Hub graduates have published novels or been successful in national writing awards in the last three years. See our Reviews and Successes page. Some of our graduates are now publishing in New York and London.

Graduates of the Introductory course receive a 10% discount on our 30 Week Fiction / Memoir Course, taught by some of NZ’s leading authors. This longer course can be done either in the classroom, or also online.

 

Tutor: David Howard is an internationally published author who has received many awards, and held writer residencies in a variety of countries around the world.
