Overview
The Advanced short story writing course from the University of Cambridge is designed for students who have already completed the 'Creative writing: an introduction to short story writing' online course offered by University of Cambridge Professional and Continuing Education (PACE), or students who judge they are already at a level not to require an introductory course but who seek detailed feedback on their own creative writing and who wish to extend their skills in writing fiction.
Key facts:
Building on our 'Creative writing: an introduction to short story writing' online course, this course provides a 'next level' course appropriate for more experienced writers who seek: a community of writers; expert advice; a mixture of group teaching and one-to-one feedback; and a stepping stone between open access and accredited courses.
As a result of the course, within the constraints of the time available, students should be able to:
- deploy the skills they have observed in use in the writing of short fiction
- complete an original short story
Students can expect written feedback from the tutor on an individual basis on an extended piece of work (a short story of up to 3,000 words) at the end of the course.
