Have you ever wanted to be a writer, but you simply did not know where to start and how to gather your creative ideas? Do you have plenty of ideas in your mind, but you are not quite sure how to bring them onto paper?
Join Philosophy Professor John Gomez for this online class, where you'll learn how to write your first poem!
With plenty of guidance and revisions along the way, you'll discover the basics of writing as you're encouraged and motivated to express yourself creatively.
Over an hour and a half, John will also share his own experiences of writing with you, and you'll be able to ask him anything from basic writing techniques and performing your readings at events, to self-publishing in a successfully recognised press-house.
If you're looking for unique indoor activities and have wanted to develop your writing skills, then this virtual creative writing class may be perfect for you!

John Gomez is a writer from Bucaramanga, Colombia, with a master’s degree in philosophy from the Industrial University of Santander. He grew up in Bucaramanga, a city in Colombia , where apparently nothing happens, but which inspired him for his contemporary work consisting of multiple poetry publications.
John is also the director of the cultural platform "Alter Vox Media" and "Sátiro Press House" and also the founding partner of the "Cinicoteca Library".
He obtained Mention of Honour in the International Contest Hacia Itaca 2017 (Mar del Plata, Argentina, 2017), winner of the 9th RCN-MEN National Short Story Contest (Colombia, 2015), finalist of the III La Cueva National Short Story Award (Colombia, 2014) and second place in the National Poetry Contest Café Con-verso Ciudad de Bucaramanga (Colombia, 2012). Now wanting to pass on his knowledge to people overseas, he is ready to teach how to write poems which can be translated in multiple languages and last an eternity.
