Creative Writing
|
|
Develop craft skills in fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, radio and performance writing, and new media. Gain practical skills in oral presentation, and technical skills in desk-top and web-based. Take opportunities to perform and publish your work. Become integrated into regional writing networks and benefit from placement opportunities. Creative Writing is a subject that thrives on dialogue with other subjects. As such, we want you to study another subject alongside your creative writing. The joint honours subjects available to take with creative writing are listed below; each has been chosen because of the productive dialogue it sets up with your creative work: English, English Language, Drama, Journalism, and Film.

| Teaching is centred on two-hour workshops that enable you to give and receive feedback in a supportive environment, and take part in innovative tasks to stimulate your creativity. We also take you out of the classroom on a walk workshop around Leicester, and into other environments to stimulate your writing – a chapel, a museum. Each module has a weekly lecture for discussion of craft, screenings, presentations or guest lectures. Recent visitors have included award-winning novelist Louis de Bernières, radio producer Peter Leslie Wild, and Canadian poet Erin Mouré. We help students arrange placements with a range of organisations (which have included Woman magazine, Shoestring Press, Short Fuse Fiction and Macmillan). |
