Hagley
Writers'
Institute
Quick Links
Two groups of ten writers form close supportive units, each working with a tutor. Writers work with prose and poetry. They critique each others’ work. They are exposed to other writers and the writing world, listen to guest speakers, and are introduced to a range of good writing by their tutor. They complete writing exercises in class. They are encouraged to write regularly and produce their work for comment. Each group contains writers working in a mixture
of genres.
Each writer has a supervisor as well as the class tutor. The writer and supervisor meet regularly by negotiation for critiquing, support and suggestions.
Outcomes
At the conclusion of the course, folios will be appraised by tutors for the
Hagley Writers’ Institute Certifi cate and endorsed at either ‘attainment’
or at distinction’ level. Students may also elect to have their work
assessed for the Level 4 English writing standard on the National
Qualifications Framework. A single award will also be made to
acknowledge writing excellence.
Programme
Classes are designed to fit in with writers’ busy schedules.
