What it covers

Writing fiction is a workshop-based subject that enables students to progress from the genesis of idea through to completion of a final piece of work through the processes of research, discussion, workshopping of others' work and consideration of diverse approaches to storytelling, including First Nations perspectives. The unit also includes an analysis of other writers' practices to assist in the development of students' own writing and the structural and copy-editing skills required in writing fiction. By the end of the semester you will have experience in composing dialogue, narrative, point-of-view and character. You will be directed to a range of journals including niche publications and on-line publications and are encouraged to submit your work to publications and to writing competitions.
