Tutoring
I shall tutor a course on 'Becoming a Playwright' Monday nights from 24th Jan 2011 and a one-day workshop 'Play-writing in a Day' on Sat 4th June 2011 (Details 01904 328473).
'....suitable for beginners and those wishing to consolidate previous experience. We will explore structure and drama-writing techniques for stage, radio and film, together with theme, characterisation and plot devlopment, so students can gain a detailed understanding of the drama-writing process. We will also look at how to get a play produced, together with outlets and opportunities such as local theatres, Edinburgh Fringe and the BBC...'
I give workshops on creative writing, plus talks on copyright, contracts, libel and other law relevant to writing. I have worked with various writers' groups and organistions and on residential courses etc. I have a teaching certificate and have taught legal and literary subjects. I have an MA in Creative Writing (distinction awarded) from the prestigious Writing School at Manchester Met University, set up by Michael Schmidt of Carcanet Press.
