Escritura creativa LGBTQIA+

In this class learners will produce a new piece of creative writing each week by engaging with a different writing prompt. Writing prompts will vary each week and will be generated through: queering classic stories, fan fiction, images, videos, themes, scenarios etc.

Creative writing can take any form, for example: narrative, poetry, songs, scripts, screenplays etc. so different writing styles will be discussed and encouraged. However, learners are free to write in any style they prefer; the only criteria is that the writing is imaginative! Learners will also get a chance to share their work if they feel comfortable doing so. I am also happy for students to submit their writing if they would like teacher feedback.

The aim of these lessons is to make writing fun and to give learners a safe space to express themselves.

Learners need not have any previous creative writing knowledge as we will cover writing basics such as perspective, structure, language techniques etc. Learners will have plenty of time to write independently during the lesson and will also have the opportunity to be guided by myself if required. Lessons are stand alone and do not build on previous lessons so learners can join whenever suits them.

Typical class format would be:
- Introduction of writing prompt
- Delivery of learning
- Planning and discussion
- Writing
- Sharing

This is an inclusive class, any negativity towards the LGBTQIA+ community will not be accepted.
