This course positions the writer as creative practitioner. Our guiding focus is the creative act of writing, rather than literary form. Tailored to recent graduates, as well as aspirational or established writers looking for a professional qualification, this course supports writers seeking opportunity to advance their craft and collaborate with peers within a multidisciplinary environment.
Writers will be supported to produce an extended creative writing project, alongside peers working across literary forms. Underpinned by workshops covering prose, poetry and scriptwriting, you will explore craft and technique, deepening your practice through exploration across discipline, form and genre. The aim is for you, the writer, to evidence that which is valuable to your ongoing creative development, to interrogate the breadth and depth of your literary tradition.
Writers will take advantage of the arts university setting, through engagement with experimental and hybrid writing forms, as well as collaborative opportunities with practitioners across multiple creative disciplines. The interdisciplinary approach fostered by the course allows for exploration of digital narratives and writing for interactive media.
Mirroring the creative process of ideation, development, and revision, writers will develop their creative practice and engage with research methodologies. You will be supported to develop creative and critical skills with regular sharing and feedback workshops. Engagement with the creative industries, through literary festivals, publishers, and creative agencies will widen this creative and critical dialogue, while offering networking and career-building opportunities.
