This course builds on the concepts outlined in Writing Fiction and Writing Non-fiction, by offering a deeper insight into crafting a successful narrative. You have the opportunity to develop your own work while exploring different elements of narrative such as pace, character development, story arc, point of view, tense, conflict, scene and metaphor. You develop an appreciation of the ways in which readers engage with a text and how narrative can be used to convey meaning across a range of social and cultural backdrops. You are also encouraged to investigate a variety of narrative styles to use in your own fiction and non-fiction writing.
