Instant feedback on every writing exercise
In online writing courses, you usually don’t get any feedback on your exercises, or you have to wait for a reply. With ViaScripta, you get your feedback right away, on every exercise, as often as you like.
ViaScripta always knows what you’re learning. If an exercise is about tension, it looks at the tension in your writing, not at whether your piece is well written in general.
You get pointers on your own sentences: what’s already working, where it goes wrong, what you can do differently, and why. You don’t have to get it right the first time. No one’s looking over your shoulder.
Feedback
From technique to an unmistakable voice.
You’ve mastered every technique, but what makes your work unmistakably yours? The Advanced Creative Writing course gives you the insights and techniques to find that voice and strengthen it.
You experiment with literary forms that do what conventional prose can’t. You write in many voices, use silence to carry meaning, and explore digital storytelling. You build a sustainable writing practice and put into words the philosophy that guides your work.

What You’ll Learn
Using experimental forms for a reason
You break literary conventions not for the sake of novelty but because the form expresses what a linear structure can’t.
Writing stories in many voices
You orchestrate multiple points of view without hierarchy, so the reader has to judge for themselves what’s true.
Using silence to carry meaning
You leave out what you don’t need to say and trust the reader to feel what’s missing.
Exploring digital storytelling
You examine how new media make new story forms possible, and you deliberately choose the medium your story needs.
Building a sustainable writing practice
You develop a routine and the resilience to sustain your writing life for decades.
Putting a personal writing philosophy into words
You articulate what you want to achieve with your writing and which principles guide your choices.
Writing with something to say about society
You write stories that take a stand, and you explore your responsibility as a writer without preaching.
Taking your place in literature
You name your literary ancestors and write from an understanding of your place in the tradition.
Write work that lasts.
You want to write something that is unmistakably yours, with a voice of your own that moves readers. The Advanced Creative Writing course gives you the depth and instant feedback to get there. Buy the course or subscribe to ViaScripta and start right away.
