Overview
What you will learn
- We all have stories to tell, and with the right guidance you can make those stories compelling. Perhaps words are pouring out of you but you need to structure them. Perhaps you’re bursting with ideas but aren’t sure where to start.
- Perhaps your life-story, short story, novel, or poem is well underway but you're not yet confident about editing and polishing. Our experienced, encouraging tutors will help you to find your voice and shape your story.
During the Creative Writing Summer School offered by University of Oxford , we invite you to:
- Work with Oxford tutors in small-group workshops.
- Receive tutor feedback on your writing during two individual 20-minute tutorials.
- Attend talks by industry professionals and authors.
You will also engage in writing exercises, give and receive peer-review, and have the opportunity to respond to your tutors' feedback. The aim of the programme is to help you find and develop your own style and voice while adding new techniques to your personal writer's toolkit.
