Reading for Writers 2010
Tuesday 13 April 2010 - Tuesday 9 November 2010
Ever wondered what Jane Austen or Ernest Hemingway read? What about Chekhov? Writers often say their best resource is reading other people’s books. This course focuses on the twin experience of reading as a reader and reading as a writer. It asks, how do writers read? And how can you enhance your reading technique? Come and explore facets of writing such as narrative, character, point of view, detail and dialogue by looking closely at the writing techniques of a variety authors including, Michael Ondaatje, Tim O’Brien, Elizabeth Strout, Mary Shelley and Virginia Woolf. A wide range of other writers’ works will also be considered and selected examples of their fiction provided.
