Details

  • 1. Subject Notes are forwarded by email attachment at the start of each fortnight and are to be carefully read through. This should take approximately 45 minutes every fortnight. Subject Notes are to be kept and referred to throughout the course.

    2. There will be a maximum of three Exercises that form part of the subject material each fortnight. The Exercises are separate to Assessable Task requirements and are provided to be practical illustrations. Some will be interactive and we'll have discussions by email or phone at an agreed time. Alternatively, I'm happy to meet for one hour on a fortnightly basis. Meetings can take place at libraries or cafes.

    3. Each Assessable Task is designed to take 10 hours to successfully complete and will be forwarded to me by email attachment at the end of each fortnight for comment and feedback. The Tasks are a very valuable tool through which to learn short story writing skills as it enables me to give you specific feedback. Each Assessable Task will be no more than 1,000 words in length.

Cost

$380 including all Subject Notes, comments and feedback. Fee payable prior to start of class. Direct bank deposit available. Payments can be made by phone also.
