This session will share skills and best practice in creative writing for research. Its core objective is to support the participant to feel confident in creative responses (written) to their area of research. It will develop ideas for different forms of creative writing, both poetry and prose, and work with the participant to find the best formats for sharing their work.

Following the session, the participant should feel able to develop a creative writing response to their work, have greater knowledge on delivery formats, and be able to share this with a wider audience.

Good internet connection: the course will be held on Microsoft Teams.

If you have troubles joining the sessions or have any queries, please contact Selen Etingu-Breslaw (selen.etingubreslaw@admin.cam.ac.uk) or Diogo Gomes (dam74@medschl.cam.ac.uk).

One 90-minute session, and one one-hour session.
