The specific aims of the module are as follows: ◾To broaden the student's practice as a creative writer, with a focus on experimenting with form and content across genres. ◾To reinforce effective writing practises and habits. ◾To hone the ability to reflect on and analyse one's practise as a writer. ◾To read widely, and within a variety of genres, to build an understanding of the possibilities of experimentation within one's own writing. ◾To think more critically about the work of other writers and apply insights to one's own work. ◾To produce a portfolio of creative writing, together with an analytical essay reflecting on one's own writing.
