Finesse your writing and gain expertise across a range of genres and styles. You’ll explore contemporary approaches and their histories in areas like creative nonfiction, scriptwriting, poetry, as well as short and extended fiction writing.
Collaborate and improve your skills working with peers in interdisciplinary teams for writing, film, drama and new technologies. You’ll gain insight into writing and editing for new media, cross-genre experimentation and creative production.
Through this course, you’ll have access to internships in magazine and book publishing houses, as well as within broadcast and print media, helping you to develop important industry connections and drive your creative practice forward.
We also encourage you to pursue opportunities for writing and editing in new media, including for our own international writing journal, Verandah.
