Information
This course offers a focused introduction to creative writing in English, combining textual analysis with hands-on writing practice. Through the close reading of brief texts and guided creative exercises, participants will explore how fictional writing works and how meaning, voice, and form are constructed on the page.
Key areas of work include the fundamental principles of creative writing, strategies for approaching fiction, and practical methods for beginning and developing a text. Emphasis is placed on reading as a writer, reacting critically to literary material, and producing original creative responses in English.
The course is designed for English-Spanish translators, English teachers and advanced users of English, particularly those interested in strengthening their written expression, developing narrative awareness, and engaging creatively with language in a sound academic setting.
The structure, methodology and bibliography of the Creative Writing cycle are based on close reading, workshop practice and revision as central pedagogical components where creativity is fostered and preserved.
