This programme is designed to meet the needs of committed writers who are interested in exploring and exploiting their own possibilities as writers, and in critically examining their own writing; students examine relevant literary and cultural theory as well as the politics and practicalities of language and writing from the point of view of the writer; they have plenty of opportunities to engage with structure form and style in relation to both creative and life writing (both biography and autobiography); students also focus on the politics and legalities of publishing; a workshop in creative and life writing encourages students to experiment with and develop their individual interests in a variety of genres; while a seminar course will feature talks by visiting speakers; students also take an option course.
