From children’s books, to film scripts, via award-winning novels, students go in a variety of directions. Creative Writing classes at university can provide students with powerful insights that can affect other aspects of their life.

How does Creative Writing help with Journalism?

As a Creative Writing graduate, you will learn how to write in a professional manner. This is important because this type of writing requires formal and distinct language while still being personable and relatable to your readers. You can use the skills that you have learned from the course on many different mediums, such as websites or newspaper articles. In addition, it will help you develop a more imaginative way of looking at things that leads to better story ideas.

Creative Writing and journalism are similar in many ways, such as the fact that both contain strong research skills and critical thinking. As a creative writer, you will have to carefully assess texts written by others or other sources. This is crucial as it helps you gain credibility with your audience since they know that what you write about has been personally verified in some way. This means that if you are looking to pursue a career in journalism, then your creative writing skills will come in handy.

How expert tutoring can help you?
