*Read Like a Writer / Write Like a Reader 2012

In association with the Scottish Poetry Library.

The best advice that Ryan’s own tutor gave him was to ‘read like a writer’. The ideas of the poets and writers featured on this course - some familiar and some not so familiar - will merge with your own, and your imagination will run off in strange new directions. Writing tasks will be suggested each session, but they will be deliberately loose and free, so your own ideas and creativity can come to the fore. Lots of discussion and feedback.

*You can enroll in this course even if it has already started.
