Hi,

For geographical reasons I can only do an on-line course in writing. I am interested in creative writing, would anyone recommend a good course, there are hundreds on offer.

Thanks.

Ok since nobody seems to be able to recommend a good on line or distance creative writing course. Lots of views so people are nosy or interested!

Then could anyone help me with either of the following questions

1) Dose anyone know if I do an US one will their style of writing be different

2) Does anyone know good message boards with information on courses then.

I have limited funds so want to spend my money wisely. There are FETAC or ITEC courses, I will stay away from Kilroys, there is also OpenStudy College and the one that stands out is American Writers Digest University.

Thanks

Hi,

I've taken two online courses with The Big Smoke Writin Factory in Dublin. The courses are affordable and very helpful.

Hi,

I did their beginners course and it was excellent but I would like to learn more on creative writing. I need structure and a little guidance.

I know they have a developing your fiction course and more advanced courses. They might be of interest? I also did the beginners course, then followed it up with the Developing Your Fiction. The later was really helpful.
