The MA Creative Writing will explore literary technique through reading and discussing the work of other contemporary writers in seminars, and students can develop their own work via regular workshops and individual tutorials. Writers may choose to work on writing a novel and/or short stories and/or poems. Students will benefit from seminars with Jeanette Winterson, workshops in fiction and poetry writing led by published, award-winning writers, and intensive, one-to-one instruction from writers-in-residence. Students will also have access to Literature Live, a fortnightly reading series bringing the best contemporary novelists and poets to Manchester, skills-related sessions delivered by professionals in the publishing industry, and regular visits from literary agents and editors. Each student will receive individual feedback both in writing and face-to-face, regardless of their style or genre.
