It combines a focus on the skills of writing full-length fiction witha clear-eyed exploration of the publishing process and related creative fields. While the programme is designed as a foundation for a writing career, it is also a good choice for students who want to work with authors in publishing for a literary agency. Typical Modules: Elements of Fiction A workshop based module in which you will study different aspects of fiction writing in turn.

Theories of Practice An advanced study of contemporary theories of literature and creativity, which combines creative exercises with crucial analysis.

After the taught course, we will place you as an intern within a company in this field to learn at first hand how and why a novel is published. Students should budget both time and funds for a two-week work placement in Central London.
