With Words International Online Course - 

haibun (prose with haiku) and tanka stories (prose with tanka)

On each course start date participants are sent introductory materials, and a prompt for writing for the first submission.  An early-bird rate is available on all courses, if booked and paid for by the date stated below.

---

Haibun (Haiku with Prose) and Tanka Stories (Tanka with Prose)

These exciting forms combine the short poems haiku or tanka with prose.  They are mostly non-fiction pieces but can also be explored as flash fiction or short stories.

Because this way of writing is so multi-layered, participants would benefit from having some good experience of either the tanka or haiku forms before taking this class.  

The submissions can be all haibun, all tanka stories, or a mixture.  

Haibun and tanka stories are varied in length (from just a few sentences, to a novella), so we don't put a word limit on individual pieces.

LEVEL:  intermediate; advanced.

GROUP SIZE: up to 4.

COST:  £100 or US$150 (early bird rate is £85 or US$130, if paying by Thursday 28th Jan)

START DATE:  Course materials are available from 31st January, and course enrolment closes February 10th, subject to available spaces.  

The first submission date is February 15th. 

To book:

Please email karen@withwords.org.uk, confirming the course. 

Course fees can then be sent by PayPal to alan@withwords.org.uk 

Your place is confirmed with payment.  

Many thanks, and we hope to see you soon!
