During the course you will focus on key aspects of literary fiction and craft stories according to helpful prompts in a friendly, supportive online group. You cover a variety of topics in the course including:

  • Characterisation
  • Language
  • Imagery
  • Symbolism
  • Formal experimentation

If you have some experience of writing and are keen to develop your skills this is a good course for you to join. You will benefit by signing up to the companion course The Craft of Genre Fiction that follows it. By attending both courses, you will get the full experience.

We shall run a writing competition in May after both courses have finished. Entry is free and there’s a prize. We’ll share the details of the competition at the beginning of April.

All you need to join the course is a notebook (paper or IT) and internet connection. Each week we’ll send you support notes and access to a recording of the session.

Join us and learn the Craft of Literary Fiction.
