Introduction to Fiction Writing


Adult / General Interest -
2025-2026 CE School Year

It has been said that everyone has a book in them. Do you? Designed specifically for those with little to no fiction writing experience, find your pathway towards your fiction writing goals. Learn the basic building blocks of story: character, plot and setting. Then, find out the different forms of fiction writing and some of the genres you might like to explore.
Whether you’ve never written a word of fiction, or haven’t written since high school or college, you will complete the course with the skills you need to get started. Create a new work of fiction, or revive an old one that’s been sitting in your bottom drawer.
