Creative Writing

If you’ve an inkling, idea or certainty you have a novel, novella or short story in you, a free Cornwall College creative writing course may be just what you need to get started.

Energised creative writing class sitting round table writing in notebooks and typing on laptops.

In a super friendly and nurturing environment, in this weekly class, over 6/8 weeks, we will look at practical ways of thinking about storytelling. Drawing on selected texts and exercises we will explore: narration and voice; structure and tension; character and dialogue; pace, and even routes to becoming published – eek!


It has been the greatest joy to see my adult learners go from not writing at all outside of class to becoming published, winning competitions, and going on to study at MA level. Whether you’re a first-time writer or looking to reinvigorate a long-term project, or if you’re simply curious about the writing process, click the Camborne or St Austell link for more information and to book.
