4 Best Creative Writing Courses in Singapore

The easiest way to express oneself is through writing. the earlier tools for expression were voice, facial expressions, and body postures. it is believed that writing was developed about 5500 years ago in iraq. we, humans, are evolving over time. in today’s world, writing is considered the most essential tool to communicate, express, learn, explore, understand, etc. one single poem can touch millions of hearts. one article can reach thousands of eyes. such is the power of writing that it can create something unimaginable. there are different types of writing styles. creative writing is one of the most looked after. well, for me, creative writing is a decorative way of expressing thoughts. before we go through the details of creative writing courses in singapore, let us see what is creative writing in detail..

About Creative Writing

Creative writing starts with imagination. As imagination has no boundaries so does creative writing is boundaryless. Writing such as technical, formal, research, and legal is based on facts, so there are restrictions. You cannot use imaginative language, in facts whereas, there are no norms to be followed in creative writing.

Your perspective in creative writing is the most unique thing and that’s why your writing stands out as the most unique. Some use creative writing as a tool to vent their thoughts while some use it to journal their day-to-day experiences.

Creative Writing Courses in Singapore Help Every Age

Creative writing helps everyone in one or the other way. From children to old age people, anyone can utilize the benefits of writing and make their life more meaningful.

Children may go through the processing of many thoughts. They may not know what would help them and what would not. But, insisting they write daily might help them in many ways. A child may feel insecure about sharing his thoughts and this may create anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression are difficult to overcome.

Imagining creatively and writing down the thoughts that come to his mind, a child can learn to boost his confidence and overcome anxiety and depression. Creative writing also helps his imagination power to grow. Creative writing courses in Singapore help children achieve their skills in writing.

Young Generation:

Everyone is busy out there doing jobs, businesses, daily work, etc. No one gets the time to relax and feel calm. As a way to relax your mind and be calm, you can write a daily journal. Daily journal means to report the occurrence of events on a daily basis and learn from them. This helps in understanding what is happening in your life and also makes you feel relaxed by rearranging those thoughts which are going random.

Old Generation:

Old age comes with its own perks. You may have retired from your work. Your health may not support you. All your kids and grandkids might be busy doing their work. This may make you feel lonely and make it hard to continue your life. In order to make yourself busy and to keep your mind fresh to enjoy life, you can do creative writing consistently on a daily basis. This helps you to keep your mind occupied feel less distressed and let you understand a new phase of life.

Types of Creative Writing

Poetry writing:.

Poetry writing is an art. It is like music that comes with a flow and rhythm. A poem uses a short number of words with larger and deeper meanings. Below is an example of a few lines from the poem Middle Passage by Robert Hayden.

“8 bells. I cannot sleep, for I am sick

with fear, but writing eases fear a little

since still my eyes can see these words take shape

upon the page & so I write, as one

would turn to exorcism. 4 days scudding,

but now the sea is calm again. Misfortune

follows in our wake like sharks (our grinning

tutelary gods).”

From these lines, one can deduce different meanings and perspectives. How Robert explains writing eases his fears in just a few lines.

Novel Writing:

This is the favorite thing that most writers love to do. Writing a novel and publishing it in your name and receiving a bestseller award is what writers love to do. But writing a Novel is not an easy thing to do. It requires many skills like imagination, vocabulary, character development, good story, etc. This type of creative writing is the most loved one. The greatest authors of all time are Leo Tolstoy, William Shakespeare, James Joyce, and many more. You can read their writing and get inspired by how to write.

Daily Journal Writing:

This type of creative writing includes writing the occurrence of the events daily. If you are going through a tough phase in life and don’t know what to do and whom to tell, then you can start writing a daily journal. It is best to exercise to express your feelings and let the negativity inside you go from within you. You can write about 250 to 500 words daily. There is no specific format for writing the daily journal. Whatever comes to your mind, you can note it down. This can also be a learning exercise for you.

Playwriting :

Playwriting is intended to be used in theatres. Playwriting is focused on character development so that there is one protagonist and antagonist. Having two opposite characters makes the play more interesting for the audience. While writing a play one has to keep theatre in his mind. The special effects used in theatre, the entry, and exit of actors, and the costumes according to the character all are necessary from a playwriting point of view.

Scriptwriting :

Scriptwriting is similar to playwriting. The difference between scriptwriting and playwriting is scriptwriting is written for movies and television shows and playwriting is written for theatre. Everything else remains the same. Scriptwriting demands character development and an interesting story as in playwriting.

Fiction Writing :

Fiction writing is based on plot, character, and meaning by the writer’s imagination. Fiction writing is utilized on Television, in Plays, Movies, etc. The best authors for fiction writing are J K Rowling, Stephen King, and Ernest Hemingway.

Non-Fiction Writing:

In this type of writing, there is a slight difference from fiction writing. Nonfiction writing consists of real events and not the imagination of the writer

Individual Attention ​

Every learner is unique. We scaffold our teaching to cater to the needs of your child. As a small setup, we are able to focus on the quality of instruction.

Dedicated Online Channel ​  (24 / 7 Support)

Each class has a dedicated online Slack channel where students are engaged on an online setting outside of class. Students are prompted to participate  in online discussions and provided with enrichment material to keep them reading, even when a class is over.

Michael Wang is a graduate of the Florida State Film Conservatory, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Summa Cum Laude) in film.

The invention of writing has been a defining moment in the evolution of human civilization. Writing has been one of the most significant modes of communication available to us for expressing our thoughts, visions, and beliefs with each other. Across the ages of history, as writing evolved as a skill, a man started experimenting with different types of writing materials and tools, and thus developed the many styles of writing. As writing styles continue to evolve, today in the millennial world,  people seemed to be intrigued and fascinated by the new catchword – creative writing. As a result of this, many creative writing courses in Singapore are providing training to make people skilled.

What is Creative Writing?

In simple words, creative writing can be explained as the art of essaying your imaginative thoughts creatively. It is how best one can craft and beautifully play with words or sentences. Some people possess the gift to write what attracts their audience’s attention, while others go through structured courses to pick up the nuances of the trait.

The ideation of any creative writing is inspired by mundane things but its value is enhanced by its presentation style which would makes it stand out. The niche of a creative writer, therefore, dwells in the individual’s ability to uniquely narrate an article as a story while keeping in mind the target audience.

Types of Creative Writing

Creative writing has been around in many forms and styles for quite some time. However, the invention of the typewriter in the late 19 th century gave a boost to the growth of creative writing. Although, in earlier times, poetry was considered one of the first forms of creative writing, however as times evolved and writers were influenced by their immediate surroundings and society, that was eventually reflected in the writing; giving rise to many other forms and styles of creative writing.

Through its journey so far, creative writing has undergone many experimentations, permutations, and combinations; often being subjected to a change in writing material or tools, or style of writing. For a considerable time in the past, people were used to the comfort of using paper as the most useful material for writing, until the internet came knocking.

Now, with the boom in the internet and technology, the art of creative writing has reached out to a new platform, with a diverse range of areas where writing skills are required to increase the target audience base to more successful careers for creative writers as akin to a decade ago.

Even though there has been an upsurge in the creative writing market due to the internet, there are still some writing styles from the past which are still in vogue. Only the look and feel have changed since we are used to reading them from an online platform rather than a copy or a book.

Let Us Understand the Types of Writing That Are Predominantly Trending in Creative Writing.

1. Poetry Writing

This has been one of the oldest forms of creative writing styles. It will not be out of place to consider this as the foundation of most of the writing styles that are in use today. Most of the writing from history discusses epics being written in rhythmic verses describing a story or anecdote of that era. It is still holding on to its fort despite stiff competition from new emerging styles of writing.

2. Fiction Writing

This style of writing mostly deals with composing imaginative narratives which may or may not have any factual bearing on the real world. In this, the writer conveys his viewpoint to the audience by creating a web of words around a pseudo-real world. This genre of writing has many varied types depending on the structure, format, or number of words such as novels, short stories, screenwriting, etc.

3. Non-fiction Writing

In contrast, non-fiction is a more generalized form of writing which includes any written content that does not have any imaginative narrative to it. They are mostly rooted in the assumption of hard facts. Often the such type of style can be written for informative or instructional benefit. Being a fact-based writing style, these can be presented either objectively or subjectively in various literary types such as educational books on various subjects, biographies, academic papers, journal articles, etc.

In the last few years, another offshoot of this style that is gaining momentum is creative non-fiction writing, which is written on the same premise of factually accurate information as non-fiction writing. But it is different in the sense that here writer projects the same information in a more dramatized way as if narrating a story to the reader.

Thus, this uses the creativity of crafting the article from fiction writing while sticking to the baseline of using hard facts as in usual non-fiction writing. Most biographies, news articles, editorial columns, magazine articles, personal essays, diary writing, memoirs, etc. come under this style of writing.

4. Screenwriting

Also known as scriptwriting, this form of writing is very similar to friction writing, especially when writing a novel. But the only addition is here the entire story is divided into different sub-structures describing more in-depth the characters, the environment, and the plot. The narratives are also in direct speech with dialogues mentioning the conversations between the different characters as well as their expressions being tagged here. Due to the detailed structure of this writing, it is mostly used in movies, theatre acts, plays, television dramas, or web series.

Start your day by writing clear and simple sentences which are precise as well as easy to understand. O. Practice the habit of writing paragraphs of at least 10-15 lines in one go. Likewise, keep pushing your limits until you can write at least 2-3 pages in a day.

Tip: You can start by maintaining  a journal mentioning all the happenings throughout the day

Once you get comfortable and habituated with the art of writing daily, now you can focus on writing something in your chosen genre or writing style.

English Creative Writing Classes

Since time immemorial, people have used writing as a form of expression, and it has remained a major part of our everyday lives, from articles to reports, presentations, and even emails. Writing also allows you to express your thoughts and ideas to the world. This is why English Creative Writing classes in Singapore are important, as it helps your child articulate themselves fluently through the written word from an early age, and at the same time prepare themselves for written examinations in future.

Here at The Junior Learners’ Learning Centre, we are offering English Creative Writing Classes to hone the talents and skills of young children in putting their ideas to words. We believe that creative writing is a good way to communicate one’s thoughts to other people. Art connects people and Creative Writing is a form of art under literature. Thus, it is crucial for children to express themselves through writing.

• Our English Creative Writing classes in Singapore are more than just a programme to foster creative thinking — after all, students must be able to transpose those creative ideas on paper. With that in mind, they will also be taught how to frame, phrase, and organise their thoughts in a coherent and effective manner that enables readers to understand and feel the message that our students are trying to get across.
• The syllabus that we use for our English Creative Writing classes in Singapore adheres to school standards and is designed to enhance the writing skills of students according to their academic levels. Apart from our small-sized and focused approach to teaching English creative writing, we also place great emphasis on a scaffold learning approach. Our syllabus is designed in such a way that every lesson is a building block that will help each student in their learning journey.

English Writing Classes

Conducive Environment for Learning and Collaboration

• With smaller class sizes (10 students max) for our English Creative Writing classes, there are more opportunities for group learning and extensive collaboration over a longer period of time. Research has shown that group learning, which is inevitable in a small class setting, typically leads to high-quality collaborative experiences for students. Through collaboration with other students, they are also challenged in their ways of thinking when engaging with different opinions from their classmates. There is also greater support amongst students in small-sized English Creative Writing classes. Students are able to build strong camaraderie when tackling difficult questions together, which further enhances their learning experience in class. This also allows teachers to better facilitate the exchange of ideas between students, building a close-knitted relationship with them while engaging them effectively.

Effective Management

• A smaller class size encourages effective engagement between teachers and students. With a smaller group of students, teachers are able to better customise their lessons according to their students’ learning needs. A tailored teaching style that appeals to students and enables them to grasp concepts better in class is what allows them to learn better. Our learning system for our English Creative Writing classes is specially designed to suit the dynamics of a small class size to further enhance these benefits.

Greater Attention Given to Individual Students

• Another advantage of learning within a small group setting is that greater attention is given to every student. In our EnglishCreative Writing classes, teachers are able to keep track of every student’s progress and give them personalised feedback that effectively points out any areas of improvement that they may have. This accelerates the process of improvement for students who are already pressed for time and trying to cope with a fast-paced syllabus.
