Language is powerful and, in this class, Emma will help you understand what ‘language’ means. She will teach you how to use vocabulary, imagery, tone and sentence structure, including punctuation in your writing, to create impact on your reader.
There will be plenty of time for practice, with writing exercises throughout the afternoon. You can then use these ideas in your own work.
Emma is a teacher with 26 years’ experience and is passionate about helping people develop their creativity, through creative discussion and writing.
The afternoon will be informal and supportive and an opportunity for you to meet like-minded people.
