Introduction to Creative Writing

Have you always dreamed of being a writer but haven't been sure how or where to begin?

Whether you want to write for yourself, your close friends and family, or you aspire to turn writing into a career, this course will serve as an entry point into your creative potential.

Through a series of writing workshops, reading exercises, and open dialogue with the instructor and other classmates, students will expand their idea of what is possible on the page.
