Portfolio

Market research document including pitch, knowledge of recent publications, potential imprints/agents, submission letter.

Report

Students will be encouraged to work autonomously, and to contribute effectively to classes. The techniques of the teaching, reading and writing studied at Levels 4 and 5 will be synthesised into writing a portfolio that should be the best possible showcase for the student&#39;s writing, accompanied by a reflection that examines their creative processes and what they have learned through the process of both providing and applying feedback, evidencing both attendance and engagement with the module. Students will research potential publication opportunities, noting where their writing &#39;sits&#39; in terms of other writers and genres, distilling their work to a log-line and composing a letter that will entice an agent/editor to read their work. This module explicitly positions the student as a professional writer seeking publication.
