Unseen: Creative Writing For The New Decade

Online, September 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - A 2-day overnight creative writing workshop using a unique teaching method will be conducted by Michael Duque, UK -based author and Journalist, in cooperation with the Esoteric Society of the Philippines, Primoris Publishing and Des10Ny Media Arts UK. The workshop aims to awaken the creative consciousness of the participants through experiential inspired learning. The use of experiential learning in the workshop aims to help equip the participants with a fresh new perspective in their writing knowledge and skills while simultaneously assisting them to discover and maximize the potential of untapped resources.

Duque is a Filipino author who is now based in London. His works include "The Little Green Book for Nurses (Primoris, 2004)" which was a sold-out in the UK; and "Quests Beyond Existence (Primoris, 2010)" which has made it into the UK retail book market, recently. The unique workshop which combines traditional didactic presentations and the use of various exercises to enhance the teaching and learning process was developed by Duque, initially for his personal development. "I have attended various seminars and I have found most creative writing workshop not creative and uninspiring." Duque said. "I reviewed my previous experiences and its positive effects and hence have developed this unique course which will strengthen the participant's existing writing foundation or should they have little, to significantly contribute to providing them with enough confidence to thread the writing path.

The overnight workshop will be held on 3-4 February 2012 at Balai Isabel, Batangas City, Philippines.

The two-days workshop fee is Php 1,000 which includes all course materials, food and accommodation.
