The Writers' Lab is a rich and varied class that introduces you a wide range of different styles of writing.

I want to help you find your own writer's voice, to write about what matters to you, in ways that are impactful and effective.

This is not about making a load of writing-clones. Your writing should be just as unique and interesting as you are. 

You will have lots of opportunities to write across the course. I will not see it - it is entirely up to you what you do with it.

Across the lessons of the course, we will learn about 

- Poetry - rhyming and non-rhyming forms
- Essay - how to be a clear communicator
- Fiction - tell stories that hold a reader's attention, stories that truly matter to you
- Non-Fiction - spread the facts about your passions and obsessions, in engaging ways
- Speechwriting - harnessing the power of persuasion

In total, the Writer's Lab includes almost 2 and a half hours of snappy well-designed learning videos, split into 32 bite-sized chunks.

There are downloadable resources to support you throughout as well.

This is an *entirely* asynchronous class, meaning you can do it whenever you like. 
You are the only student in the class.
There is no direct teacher feedback or interaction in the class - my teaching is the provision of these video and downloadable resources for you.
