Unlocking Creativity

Online writing course, writing course details.

Breakthrough Tools and Techniques

This creative writing course gives you high-impact tools and techniques designed to take your writing to another level throughout the four sessions.

As well as learning about the art and craft of writing, you will do daily exercises to put what you learn into practice. You will post your writing on our bespoke writers’ board, be part of a supportive, creative community and receive constructive feedback from your tutor and fellow writers.

This brings the whole creative learning experience to life in a way that will keep you motivated and inspired.

While our courses are designed for fiction writers, many writers say by applying the tools and techniques they learned during Unlocking Creativity to their non-fiction, they dramatically improved the quality of their writing. The best non-fiction writers employ fictional techniques to engage readers and bring their words to life on the page.

Week One:  Unlock the Power of Your Imagination

Discover how to tap into the power of your imagination – the true source of creativity. This is an inspiring discovery for many writers that makes all the difference to your writing. It will kick start your creative journey wherever you are as a writer.

Week Two: The art and craft of writing

Explore what is stopping you from reaching your creative potential as a writer and learn how to create emotion in your writing using bricks of considerable detail, bringing your characters and writing to life on the page. These are the nuts and bolts of fiction writing.

Week Three:  Character Development & Story Structure

Gain a practical understanding of developing characters and taking them on an emotional and spiritual journey of change using classic story structure. You will understand the most powerful way to tell a story that connects and resonates with readers. Your characters will take on a life of their own.

Week Four: Bringing it all together

Write a guided short story applying everything you have learned from the course and witness how far your writing has transformed over the four weeks. The class will demonstrate how storytelling is a profound dance between structure and the imagination and that structure expands your imagination rather than limits it. Everyone leaves the last class on a creative high.

Course Features

Comprehensive course materials, weekly videos, bi-weekly emails to keep you inspired and accountable,  targeted daily writing exercises, our unique interactive writers’ board and regular feedback from your online tutor and community of fellow writers.

How this Online Creative Writing Course Works

We will assign you an experienced tutor who will coach and guide you every step of the way. They will keep you accountable, motivated and inspired as you work through the online materials.

Each week, you will work through specific daily exercises designed to integrate the tools and techniques you are learning and put them into practice. Once you’ve done the exercises you will post them onto your class’s interactive online Writers’ Board.

Working with your online tutor

Your tutor will give you feedback on two pieces of your writing every week.  As well as that, you will interact with your fellow writers by learning to give and receive targeted feedback. This is an inspiring and important part of the process that will nurture your creativity and develop your writing skills.

One of the advantages of the online course is that you can work at your own pace, establish a writing habit and make creativity and writing a part of your daily life.  The art and deeper learning come from the act of doing the writing on a regular basis.

The art and craft of writing

Many people have a passionate desire to write fiction and long to see their books in print or their stories on the big screen.

However, the desire is only the beginning. Writing is both an art and a craft and the Writers’ Studio courses, developed over twenty five years, provide a practical and inspirational pathway to enable you to realise your writing dreams, whatever they may be.

The time involved when doing the course

The time required for writing per day starts with as little as 10-15 minutes. You become a writer by doing a little every day and forming a writing habit. This way, you experience the pleasure of accessing your creativity regularly and working towards making your writing dreams a reality.

However, the whole process, from reading your lessons, writing your exercises, typing them up and then posting them onto the Writers’ Board and giving feedback, could take around 45-60 minutes a day , five times a week . You can do much more if you have time!

The practical application of the tools and techniques provided, coupled with the interactive writing exercises and targeted feedback, will make your writing leap forward over the four weeks.

Hobart’s emergence as a literary hotspot has long been sustained by the talents of students, staff and alumni from the University.

Now it is set to benefit more, with the newly named UNESCO City of Literature to be supported by the College of Arts, Law and Education’s Creative Writing program.

A $127,000 City of Literature PhD scholarship will be added to a host of activities already supporting our Tasmanian writers.

The bespoke scholarship will be offered to a student exploring literary culture or Tasmanian writing.

It comes on top of a range of programs already offered in the College. The Hedberg Writer-in-Residence program, funded by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund, provides a three-month writing opportunity each year, while the James McAuley Creative Fellowship supports writers and other creatives. The University of Tasmania Prize is awarded for best unpublished work at the biennial Tasmanian Literary Awards. The Green Family Award for Tasmanian History , offered through the College, offers $25,000 for historical fiction and history writing. The College has also forged important partnerships with Tasmania Reads and Island magazine.

The Creative Writing program boasts award-winning alumni such as Robbie Arnott, Erin Hortle, Adam Ousten, Katherine Johnson and Adam Thomson, while research projects like Creative Antarctica are exploring the literary legacy of our broader region.

Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing Dr Lucy Christopher, herself an award-winning writer for young people, said the University would continue to be central to Hobart’s rich literary culture.

“The University already provides experienced and inspiring teaching of Creative Writing, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels,” Dr Christopher said.

“It will play a key role in inspiring, teaching, supervising and encouraging our future writers of Tasmania, as well as continuing to reach out to the literary community of Hobart with events and opportunities.”

The University also has a strong association with local writers including Danielle Wood, Robyn Mundy, Heather Rose, Ruairi Murphy, Alan Carter and Ben Walter, many of whom have also taught in the Creative Writing program.

“Hobart and all of Tasmania have become home to a thriving writing and reading culture,” Executive Dean of the College of Arts, Law and Education Professor Kate Darian-Smith said.

“This is in no small part due to our Creative Writing program, and we look forward to inspiring writers from the island and elsewhere to create our future literary works.”

Hobart/nipaluna’s original stories were revived by the Tasmanian Aboriginal community with palawa kani, a hybrid of lutruwita’s indigenous languages.

The city was the birthplace of the first Australian novel, published in 1818, is home to the winners of prizes around the world including the Vogel Award, Stella Prize, Commonwealth Writers Prize, Prime Minister’s Literary Awards and the Booker Prize.

Hobart joins the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)’s Creative Cities Network of 350 cities in more than 100 countries.

“The cities in our Creative Cities Network are leading the way when it comes to enhancing access to culture and galvanising the power of creativity for urban resilience and development,” UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said.
