Lancashire Writing Hub, in partnership with Lancashire County Library & Information Service, will be delivering three fantastic developmental writing courses this year. 
Following the success of the Creative Writing courses LWH delivered in Preston in 2011, we are extending our writing courses in partnership with Lancashire Libraries.
There will be three courses, each one lasting for four weeks, and the courses can be treated as individual creative writing development courses or you can sign up for all three.
More details about the content of the courses will follow shortly, but they will be aimed at prose writers.
The first course, Getting Started, will enable you to get started on a piece of writing or get back into writing after a break;
The second course, Progressing Your Work, will aim to develop your writing further and enhance your skills in characterisation, plot, and managing the whole writing project;
The final course, Advanced Creative Writing Skills, will aim to develop your re-drafting, editing and finishing skills to an advanced level to enable you to take your work to a professional standard.
This year, we will be running the courses on Saturday mornings to minimise the problems you may face in having to dash home from work for an early evening workshop.
Each course comprises four x two-hour workshops, delivered over four consecutive Saturdays. There will be a month’s break between each course to allow any writers planning to sign up for more than one course to develop your writing further before the next course starts.
Each course costs £60 for the four weeks, and includes refreshments.
The dates and times of the three courses are as follows:
Getting Started: Creative Writing Course – MARCH:
Saturday mornings 11am – 1pm on 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th March.
