Our unique weekly workshop at mima, the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, will help you to grow your writer’s toolkit in a supportive and nurturing environment. By writing together in response to a range of texts and ideas as well as the mima collections and exhibitions, you develop your confidence and learn how to gather and shape ideas. By workshopping your own work-in-progress and offering detailed feedback to others, you gain the skills to become a confident reader and crafter of your own work. A range of modules support your critical skills and provide opportunities for you to experiment and then specialise in form and genre, including poetry and prose fiction, life writing, creative non-fiction, experimental writing, science fiction, fantasy and speculative fiction. Most modules are assessed through a portfolio of your own creative writing with an accompanying reflective and/or critical commentary. Some modules also have elements of assessment for your participation in a writing workshop group or ask you to produce a plan for a practical writing workshop or series of workshops.
