Creative Writing Fictional Writing Certificate

Creative Writing Fictional Writing Certificate

Fictional Creative Writing is an art form with roots dating back to the 12th century in England, continuing a rich tradition that remains vibrant today. This evolving craft draws on a range of skills within the English language, including imaginative storytelling, character creation and development, setting portrayal, and world-building. A key focus is the use of language to engage readers and express the writer’s unique voice and perspective.

The skills gained in creating fictional characters and stories have broad applications across many industries - from self-publishing to creative fields like animation, storyboarding, and game development as a story writer or character designer. The opportunities where fictional creative writing plays a role are extensive and varied.

This course also supports essential everyday skills, with a strong emphasis on English language and literature. As a creative programme, you will have the freedom to produce original fictional works that resonate personally, helping to develop cognitive thinking, imaginative abilities, and independent thought.
