The module covers many aspects of teaching creative writing from a practical and theoretical perspective, including teaching close reading, workshop and feedback styles, and 'the writing exercise'. Students will also design their own teaching project in consultation with the tutor, and practical fieldwork will be undertaken. In addition, students will learn first-hand about the role of publishing in the dissemination and teaching of creative writing including playwriting and screenwriting by assisting with the running of the School's international literary journal, The Scores. In the process they will learn about editing, proofreading, formatting, publication, marketing and distribution.
