Chester’s rich cultural and historical backdrop, paired with our dedicated tuition, creates the ideal environment for your creative growth.
In your first year, you’ll lay the foundations of your craft, exploring the essential principles of Creative Writing. Through a dynamic blend of seminars, lectures, and workshops, you’ll experiment with poetry, prose fiction, and drama, developing your voice and confidence as a writer.
Building on this in year two, you’ll expand your skills with more focused learning, including the intricacies of flash fiction and professional writing. You’ll be encouraged to refine your techniques and embrace new challenges, pushing the boundaries of your creative expression.
In your final year, you’ll take your writing to the next level, delving into advanced scriptwriting, poetry, and longer fiction. Under the expert supervision of our experienced staff, you’ll tackle a large-scale writing project-your chance to showcase your growth and create work you’re truly proud of.
