Creative writing masterclasses
The Master of Creative Writing masterclasses are led by the Centre's three key tutors, Stephanie Johnson, James George and Mike Johnson. The masterclasses are part seminar, part workshop and are a crucial experiential part of the programme.
These classes have been carefully designed to work in concert, and each tutor teaches blocks of classes in both semesters, so that there is a developmental follow through for creative writing candidates.
