Writing for Teens and Young Adults

An Awkward Age?

The art, craft and business of writing for young adults is explored. This course will have a strong workshop element so participants should come with a current writing project to be critiqued in a supportive atmosphere. Emphasis will be on structure, character and characterisation, dialogue, theme and setting in relation to each student's own work.
