Anyone seen this? I wonder whether it would be possible to ‘run’ this informally here somehow…

I’m in!
Well, the Den has private groups so I’m sure it’s possible. We’re hardly over-using the site’s facilities at the moment.
Also, it looks good doesn’t it. What a star Andrew is. Andrew, missed you at York this year!
That’s @andrew 🙂
Thanks! And thanks for sharing this – do put it into circulation with people who might be interested. And too there are plenty of ways to mix up and adapt what’s there.
And yes – I think the Den could be a great place to set up a critique space. What I’d like is to be able to recommend more places where writers can connect with like-minded parties who want to work on writing with common goals, including getting good feedback.
Sorry to miss lots of people at York! But I don’t go there any longer. If anyone is interested (and I hope it is okay to mention here), I do run workshops independently (or with wordsaway.info) now. There is a Four Elements day on Saturday 28 September. There is more info on my site. In fact, I have recommend the Den to a few people who’ve come along.
Good to connect again!
Sorry @andrew, I forgot to tag you in. THanks for pointing people in our direction & hopefully we are/can be one of those safe critique spaces for writers. I think your syllabus + a supportive online group will make a brilliant combination. 🙂
Me too.
Certainly the first, writing part for me.
Oh gosh. That looks really involved… I don’t know whether I’d be able to do all of that.
what a good idea! I’d be keen.
@squidge and @sandradavies I’m sure we can set it up so that people are free to participate in the units that interest them, and not the ones that dont. I think there are probably advantages to having a core group that go through the process together, building on what’s been covered. But I also don’t see the point in making it too ‘strict’, or time intensive – more ‘slow and gentle’! Whaddya reckon?
Besides, it’s structured as a full MA (two years of work) so I think most of us would rather take it slow and be free to dip out when RL/other commitments get in the way.
Completely agree with everything you say, @raine. Slow and gentle. Let’s have a go and discuss as we go along….
