This free course with Open Learn helps you to get started with your own fiction writing. It provides a practical, hands-on approach, focusing on the central skill of creating characters.
You will listen to established writers talk about how they started writing and consider the rituals of writing and the importance of keeping a journal. You’ll learn how to develop your ideas and the importance of reflecting on writing and editing, and you’ll hear other writers talking about their approaches to research and consider ways of turning events into a plot.
This course is intended for those with an interest in starting to write fiction or improving their fiction writing, and does not require any previous experience of studying this subject.
OpenLearn is The Open University’s free online learning platform, offering flexible courses designed to support both personal and professional development whilst building skills and knowledge at your own pace.
