Hey guys,
Just thought I would remind you all that now is an excellent time to start thinking about the creative writing courses you can take over summer at Victoria University of Wellington. Some of them require you to submit a piece of your work beforehand, so it pays to be ready with a bit of content you can submit. If you are interested in any of these courses, talk to a Course Advisor or enrol online
CREW 258 – The Iowa Workshop (Prose)
A topic in creative writing. Course materials will be an additional cost.
CREW 259 – The Iowa Workshop (Poetry)
A topic in creative writing. Course materials will be an additional cost.
TXTT 201 – Print, Communication and Culture
An introduction to the history of books, print and textual transmission in western, eastern, and indigenous cultures. Topics include book design and technological change, readers and reading spaces, censorship and oppression, packaging and advertising, and the reinvention of the book in the digital age. This course includes two distinctive dimensions: an overview of print culture in Aotearoa/New Zealand, including its relationship to Maori oral culture and the influence of the book on Pacific peoples; and hands-on experience in the letterpress printing laboratory at Wai-te-ata Press. An additional charge of $5-$10 per group will be incurred for paper for the printing project. 100% internal assessment.
