Studying creative writing techniques can significantly enhance your writing skills. We will delve into various literary forms - from short stories to poems. By focusing more on words, sentences, and paragraphs, we aim to improve our ease and confidence in using language and crafting a well-structured plot and three-dimensional character(s).

The course includes reading materials, brief lectures on writing craft, group discussions, writing exercises and prompts, workshops, and revisions. Be prepared to read, write, share your work, and offer and receive constructive feedback. By the end of this course, you will have gained a foundational understanding of narrative craft and, hopefully, enjoyed the process. Our main objective is to refine your writing to be more precise, clear, and captivating while also fostering creativity and employing language for innovative thinking.

The course will primarily be conducted in English, but students are welcome to write in Turkish.

No prior experience in creative writing is necessary, but enthusiasm and dedication are highly desired.
