Life after Graduation
Seven years on, we’ve asked some of the original contributors to bring their stories up to date with news of what they’ve been doing since they graduated. The resulting follow-up accounts offer a fascinating insight into the realities of life after graduation in which they talk frankly about their ambitions and expectations, the high points and low points, and offer advice for those starting out. Some of the graduates are now working as freelance writers, balancing their own writing with journalism and teaching. Some have forged careers in other fields, finding this the best way to support their writing. Others have been drawn to further academic study and have enrolled on Creative Writing PhDs.
