At its best, fiction writing can be fluid, exciting and fun. But at times, for all writers, the writing process can feel stale, mundane or stuck. How can we encourage the play and experimentation so key to creativity in our writing process?
These courses will teach you techniques and approaches you can use whenever you feel like you have writer’s block, or when you need some inspiration before sitting down to start or finish your project.
You'll learn:
- Strategies to unlock your creativity
- How to balance experimentation and play with editing and rigour
- Resources to help you shake up your process
- Methods for finding your own approach to experimentation
- Why incorporating play into your writing routine is so important
- The ways other writers have experimented in fiction
- How to stay true to your unique voice against the odds

Testimonials from other students...
“Julie provides you with a toolkit and structure, but really encourages you to experiment too. I’ve written by first short story and am very enthused now to write more. I am inspired!”
“Structuring Short Stories with Julie Koh offers excellent tools for analysing your writing and strengthening your stories. I often find my short stories have great promise, but also some niggling flaws that I can’t fix. This course gave me new ideas for facing the challenges, and renewed enthusiasm to go back and revise again.”
