Save Creative Writing in TAFE

I started my writing career with a TAFE Diploma of Professional Writing & Editing qualification. The hands-on creative writing crafting experience and involved tutor/class feedback were huge contributors to my knowledge and skill base. On completion of the current course, participants and employers can be assured the graduate has the skills for multiple roles, both corporate and creative. By reducing the course to narrow parameters of corporate/commercial core subjects will deny students pathways to degree creative writing courses. The value of the course to me and many fellow writers I know who've undertaken the current Diploma has been publication and a thorough knowledge of the creative and professional writing industry. Please do not deny future writers this invaluable learning start. Christine Bell.
