This unit provides the fundamental skills for writing fiction and poetry as well as the basic theoretical background that underpins them. It looks at the foundational techniques required to write successfully in each mode and explores how a practitioner might best approach both writing and critical analysis in the contemporary context. It develops a critical understanding of your own and others’ approaches to writing life. You will be encouraged to develop the skills required for professional writing through a series of tasks that introduce key concepts such as characterisation, constructing a scene, writing dialogue, and creating imagery.
