This programme is designed to develop the craft of excellent writing and enable students to produce publishable fiction, life writing, or poetry.
The Department is involved with the Chester Literature Festival and the Cheshire Prize for Literature.
As well as having the chance to see inspiring speakers, our MA students also have opportunities to read their own work, at events on campus and locally. The Department's student-run open-mic nights are always popular, as are the Zest poetry evenings in the city centre. Last year, several students were selected to read their short stories at the Bluecoat Arts Centre, Liverpool.
The MA has a link with the Annette Green Authors' Agency, which will consider exceptional Writing Projects for representation.
