Creative Writing Courses
The Blackford Centre for Creative Writing
Certificate in Creative Writing
Want to get published?
This massive writing course reveals the secrets of great creative writing, and helps you get into print.
Our Cetrificate in Creative Writing covers every aspect of creative writing.
You'll discover everything from novel writing to short stories, and from sharpening your writing skills to finding an agent.
So if you've always wanted to get published, now is the time to make that dream come true.
You can start the course at any time, and take as long as you need.
Just look at the subjects we cover:
- fiction
- non-fiction
- poetry, autobiography and biography.
Plus you can study screenplays/screenwriting, and the genres of your choice, such as
-
crime
- horror
- science fiction
What a great range!
It could be the start of a new and different life for you. Once you've got published, it's easier to get other work into print. Publishers look at your proposals with more interest.
Plus you get more self-respect, and the admiration of others who would like to be in your position.
What could be more exciting than opening a letter from a publisher, and reading the amazing news - that your work has been accepted, and will appear in print?
But how easy is it to get published? And will the creative writing course help?
Well, there are more books and publications being published all the time - so there is a demand for your writing. But on the other hand, there is more competition from other would-be writers.
Also, you have to know how to present material that will attract the publishers' eye. Few writers have that instinct - and we at the Blackford Centre can teach it.
So, enrolling on the course gives you a real advantage over other creative writers.
We reveal how to find out what publishers want. And we show you how to set out your proposal in such a beguiling manner that the publisher is virtually forced to say 'Yes' to you.
Improving your writing
Does your writing some times get stuck? Do your characters seem a bit flat - and in need of some polish? And would you like help in making your writing more crisp and deep?
If so, the creative writing course is for you. It provides a thorough grounding in every aspect of creative writing. But it's also flexible so you can concentrate on the elements that really interest you.
