Brief information about the online writing courses
The writing courses
Writing course I
Writing course I concentrates on developing the natural language and writing skills that we all, in one way or another, possess. We look at both theory and practice in relation to the ‘melody’ of language, personal style and artistic means employed by authors and other artists. Through course content, practical exercises and constructive criticism, we attempt to answer the Who, What and Where of the author.
Writing course II
Writing course II is building on Writing course I. It has six units which consist of readings, tasks and shared reflections. In each unit, there is an assignment you must submit. Your teacher will give you feedback and good advice on your submissions.
Masterclass
The Masterclass course is geared toward the more seasoned language user, writer, or author, with a good grasp of language who still requires an introduction to techniques and tools that are useful in larger projects. The course includes collections of short stories, novels and larger prose texts. There is a significant amount of homework, and the feedback is more detailed than in writing courses I and II.
Author Course
Author Course is a favorable offer if you want to study all the first three courses: Writing course I, Writing course II and Master Class. Please contact post@nooa.no if you want more information.
Narrative angles
The narrative angles course has seven units which you can study at your own pace, when it is convenient for you. Each unit includes some theory, opportunities to share reflections with other students and an assignment for submission. Your teacher will give you personal advice and feedback on you submitted submissions. If you are not so concerned with detailed criticism, and you are looking for a writing course where the joy of writing and inspiration are at the core, then our narration angles course is the natural choice.
Manuscript
This Manuscript course has five units which comprise the introductory phases of the manuscript work. They focus on the back cover text, the plot, the characters, the dramatic structure and the novel´s roadmap, before it put all the preparatory work together. In addition to the five units, you may also have three consultations with your writing coach.
Have you reached a dead end half way into a novel? Has your manuscript been returned by a publisher? Do you need input to help you rework it? If this is you, then our Manuscript course is the natural choice. We take our starting point in your manuscript, giving you the tools to rework and improve it.
