Our staff includes novelist Dan Vyleta; expert in the short story Elsa Braekkan Payne; poet and novelist Luke Kennard; fiction and screen writer Richard House; short story writer Anna Metcalfe; award-winning poet Isabel Galleymore; and best-selling novelist Ruth Gilligan.
We encourage new and diverse forms of writing and support you to develop your craft. As well as an intensive focus on developing your own work, voice and ideas, you will be given insights into the world of publishing by industry professionals.
Each year there are a number of presentations and events staged by the School of English, Drama and Creative Studies and by the Creative Writing team.
