CREATIVE NONFICTION COURSES

SUMMER 2025 TERM

Summer term runs May-August and includes the following courses: Writing Erotica with Elegance and Wit; Nature Poetry and Ecopoetics (Levels 1 and 2); Memoir and Life Writing (Levels 1 and 2), Narrative Nature Writing (Levels 1 and 2), and Advanced Projects in Narrative Nonfiction.

In some courses, two classes per day are offered:  8:00-10:30 AM BST and 7-9:30 PM BST. If you live in Australia and New Zealand, a morning class from England will be best whereas if you live in the United States or South America, an evening class will be ideal.
