You know you love to write, and you know you want to improve. You need both inspiration and to expand your repertoire of skills and techniques, to hone your powers of observation.
Become more attuned to the world around you and produce more evocative writing through The Writer's Eye, designed to guide you toward
- Greater depth, because when you write from the place where you’re most yourself, you’re writing from the place where you’re connected with everyone else;
- Greater command of language, because words are your medium and your message; and
- Greater understanding of how memorable writing achieves its impact.
The Writer’s Eye offers all this and more. You will
- Provide short responses to assigned readings, thereby developing your critical thinking skills (because good readers make better writers);
- Craft stories, poems, or personal essays in response to a given week’s theme;
- Develop your editing skills as you ask for targeted feedback on your work and provide feedback for your peers;
- Apply weekly prompts to new or existing projects; and
- Use the course structure to cultivate a regular writing practice that fits your life, even after class ends.
Developed by founder Elizabeth Ayres, The Writer’s Eye consists of five six-week segments you can take in any order, at any time. The complete course provides the perfect foundation for any committed practice in fiction, nonfiction, or poetry writing.
