Both Manuscript classes are currently full . I have a writing residency at the Michael King Writers’ studio in Auckland mid-February to mid-March so most face to face classes in Dunedin will commence late March. Online classes will remain open and two experienced and well qualified tutors Raymond Huber and Penelope Todd will take over marking during this period. You can check them out in the About section.

How To Read A Poem
2018 Programme
Our 2018 Creative Writing courses are now open for enrolment.
There are 4 Online Courses and 4 fortnightly and 2 manuscript Courses in Dunedin. We also have 4 Casual Saturday Classes in Dunedin. The Manuscript classes are full for 2018, but if you are interested please contact us to go on the waiting list.
Casual Saturday classes focus on one particular aspect of writing in fiction, memoir, nonfiction and poetry. Longer courses are Finding Your Voice, Tools for Storytelling, Writing Your Life, Making Fine Poems, and the Manuscript Class. Classes are small and supportive. Students receive individual feedback and extensive notes on longer courses.
If you have any questions about any of the courses, feel free to contact us.
Although there is a starting date for face to face courses, it is possible to enrol at any time in the online courses, as long as they are completed within the generous time frame of 10 months.
