Bath Spa University, MA, Writing for Young People
In the 1st writing workshop candidates explore a variety of formats and approaches, gaining a sense of the different age-ranges and forms; this is also an introduction to the writing workshop experience which is the heart of the course; in the 2nd writing workshop candidates are asked to choose an area of writing, and use the workshop's feedback and encouragement to explore it in more depth; in the 1st context module students investigate the forms, ages and stages of writing for young people, which is concerned with the writer's relationship with their audience, a sense of the history of and issues raised by children's writing; the second context module looks at contemporary children's publishing, and aims to give a realistic grasp of the choices open to new writers in the field; finally the manuscript involves the development of a manuscript as near to publishable quality as possible; it may be a novel, a book of stories, a collection of poems or one or more scripts.
