Fiction Essentials: Writing the CityInfo Location Additional Items Contact More Info Course Information![]() Fiction Essentials: Writing the City - Wednesday 16/10/2024 to 20/11/2024, 7pm to 9pm, OnlineWe very much look forward to welcoming both new and returning students to the University of Southampton. Unless otherwise stated, all courses will be taught in person at our Avenue Campus. We would like to advise that you will need to have the appropriate technology and suitable internet connection in place, as we will be making use of online materials. At Southampton, we use a virtual learning environment (VLE) called Blackboard which is used to deliver learning materials and real-time online teaching for our students. Fiction Essentials: Writing the City This creative writing course invites you to engage with urban space in your writing: to register its rhythms, map its corners, and think deeply about how the landscape of the city shapes your feelings and experiences. Each week, we’ll explore a set of texts that give voice to the city in different ways, from the flâneurs who strolled the streets of Paris to the Windrush-generation novelists documenting their experiences of London. These texts will act as prompts for your own writing, with exercises to help you experiment with form, voice, and subject. Throughout the course you will be encouraged to draw on your own real or virtual experiences of straying through the city’s parks and streets, and recording the changing moods, atmospheres, sounds and scenery. This 6-week course will take place online on Wednesday evenings from 7pm to 9pm starting on 16th October 2024 and finishing on 20th November 2024.
