Courses - Creative writing

Creative writing courses.

By Fiona Flores Watson

If you want to get your creative writing juices flowing, what could be more inspiring than spending a few days honing word skills in sunny southern Spain?

Run by experienced, award-winning writers who delight in helping others to find their voice, develop ideas and explore new creative paths, these courses offer a stimulating yet nurturing environment where you will find the peace and space to write, while also enjoying expert tuition and mentoring.

Most places which offer creative writing courses here in Andalucia are idyllic countryside spots, tranquil and off the beaten track, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The light in this part of Spain is extraordinary, a rich golden glow which will mesmerise you and sweep you away into a new world as you mull over fully-rounded characters, clever plot twists and poetic flourishes.

With a warm welcome, comfortable accommodation and delicious food, all helped along by breathtaking views, these are the ideal situations help those words to flow. Turn off the TV, put away your phone and tablet - just concentrate on the here and now.

The courses may run at any time of year, giving you a range of options according to when you feel most comfortable in your Spanish writing experience: spring, which is pleasantly warm; summer - hot with those long balmy summer evenings; or autumn, winter, mild and sometimes wet.

In some locations, you can choose from either one-week workshops, focused in a particular skill, such as writing poetry or keeping a journal, or else a two-week retreat in the company of your fellow writers. Here you can concentrate on your own writing, or join in with group sessions, as well as getting personal feedback at one-to-one sessions. Some writers also offer mindful meditation in addition.

Also included may be excursions to discover the local area, especially the natural surroundings. Walking in the fresh air and sunshine, stopping to admire the view, and appreciate flora and fauna which is new, will fill your head with new possibilities.

The Almassera Vella

Opened in 2002, the Almàssera Vella was designed as a home and as a centre for retreats and courses in Creative Writing, Art, Photography and Walking.

' title=

The Almàssera Vella

The Old Olive Press, is located on the lip of a ravine on the edge of an ancient village in the Marina Baja mountains north of Alicante. The main house was for a hundred years or so an olive press serving three villages but it’s now converted into a large village house with copious space – designed to accommodate residential creative courses in creative writing, painting, cookery, yoga and mountain walking. Additional accommodation is provided by an annexe divided into a three room flat and a five roomed cottage all converted from a traditional village house.

On retreat, taking part in a course, or as B&B guests… there are a number of ways to visit the Almàssera. All in all there are ten bedrooms, eight bath or shower rooms, and copious living space with snug, dining room, country kitchen, library, living room plus study and two cloakrooms to the main house, and five bedrooms, four shower rooms, two kitchens, two living-rooms and a study to the annexe (number 69), which is quite literally just a few steps away, across the road.

' title=

The Grounds

The grounds include a sweeping terrace with palms, pepper and citrus trees , a swimming-pool, a terraced garden with steps winding down to an almond grove. On the other side of the ravine there is a small ‘Cottage Ornée’ ripe for conversion and the ruins of a Moorish farmhouse ready for redevelopment. There is a grove of 80 or so olive trees, and a lemon and an orange grove. Last year’s harvest produced 200 litres of Extra Virgin Olive oil, most of the crop sold to a local restaurant. We had daily fresh orange juice all Spring and lemons all year.

A Guide to Creative Writing Study Abroad Programs

Writers who decide to venture away from home to see the world, open up a sea of inspiration and potential stories, as they begin to no longer see the world through one single perspective. Traveling abroad sparks creativity beyond what many other experiences can, so by studying creative writing abroad, students will be expanding their realm of writing immensely. Those who study creative writing abroad will be challenged to think about the world in new ways; as students begin to experience new things and are challenged to find a way to describe the way they feel, their writing abilities will grow.

Why Study Creative Writing Abroad

Writers who travel gain knowledge, unique experiences, and credibility that all contribute to the believability of their stories. A good writer will usually spend a significant amount of time in a particular place before setting a story there, because of the importance of every detail when it comes to setting. Hence, if you study creative writing abroad it will do wonders for your story telling abilities, to say the least.

Ernest Hemingway sparked his writing career in Paris, and made several returns to Europe for specific projects in addition to living in Cuba off and on for twenty years. Vladimir Nabokov was also known for taking road trips across the U.S. with his wife to avoid their hatred of flying. These are famous writers that you should consider to be role models, so following in their foot steps would be a great step in the right direction!

While traveling abroad, reality can seem like fiction, allowing your stories to write themselves. Travel is an extremely useful tool for inspiration and can widen the scope of potential content and settings for stories, therefore if you study creative writing abroad, you will further not only your writing abilities but your writing career in general.

England . There is no shortage of writing inspiration in England. The nation is filled with a thriving art culture that allows for an influx of creativity, from museums and art galleries to live music and poetry and literature events. On top of the booming art scene in the nation’s capital of London and other major cities, England is home to some of the world’s best universities for literature, writing, and the arts. Beyond these countless internationally acclaimed English universities, England is also home to many study abroad programs specifically for American students, making the opportunity to study creative writing abroad in England even more accessible to American students.

Italy . Renowned for its rich cultural history, Italian art and storytelling can be traced from modern day back to the early Roman empire. With such a dense history, Italy was built on stories of the past written by skilled writers whose writing has helped keep history alive. If you study creative writing abroad in Italy, you will be surrounded by ancient art, architecture, and literature, which can all teach you new writing skills and inspire you in new ways. Interpreting Italian history can open up an endless stream of inspiration and creative possibilities, and expand your approach to writing as a whole too!

Australia . Australia’s astounding scenery and diverse, eclectic people make for a perfect setting to study creative writing abroad. Both large consumers and supporters of the arts, Australians also take pride in their creative personalities, one of which may serve as just the inspiration you need for a future piece. The people of Australia are very welcoming to foreigners and live by quite egalitarian values, making studying in Australia a less intimidating endeavor. International creative writing students will have the chance to select from many well respected Australian universities as well as American affiliate study abroad programs in various cities around the country.

Courses & Programs

Students who choose to study creative writing abroad have the option of taking courses in fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, scriptwriting, and screenwriting around the world. Most study abroad programs will offer a large number of writing and literature courses, which will expand writing skills and student’s understanding of the local approach to writing both presently and historically. Other courses related to writing will hone in on production techniques and activities or workshops to practice creating original content. It is common for classes to visit famous sites, such as museums, art galleries, palaces, and cathedrals to gain cultural context and personal inspiration. Most creative writing study abroad programs will emphasize the development of student’s writing skills, personal voice, and editing or grammar skills.

Fall and Spring semester study abroad programs are good choices for popular tourist destinations, as the popular sites will be less crowded, but the Summers give large cities a whole new life, so it’s really up to personal preference as to when you decide to study creative writing abroad. Experience is typically not required for most creative writing study abroad programs, but most still require a transcript, an online application, and at least one letter of recommendation. Some of the more selective schools may ask that you meet a certain GPA requirement or submit writing samples.

Benefits & Challenges

Studying creative writing abroad will literally open up a world of opportunities to expand your writing potential. Gaining an observant, global perspective is crucial to being a good writer, and by traveling the world you will develop new perspectives and passions. By learning about new cultures you will be uniquely inspired and learn more about various styles and approaches to writing, making the opportunity study creative writing abroad once you should never pass up!
