This specialist Master’s in Creative Writing is for writers for children and young adults who aim to complete a novel, series of picture books or shorter stories. It's a practical course, taught by experienced lecturers who are all published children's writers and/or industry professionals.
Designed for those already on the way to writing at publication level, whether in picture books, middle grade or young adult (YA) fiction, this online MA in Writing for Young People supports you to refine your craft while learning about the interaction of creative and business considerations in the modern publishing industry.
We offer places on the basis of our assessment of your quality, potential and commitment as a writer and your ability to benefit from the course.
Usually, but not invariably, you'll have a degree. This may be in subjects other than Creative Writing.
This is not a beginner’s course, so we'll be looking for evidence of originality in your writing for young people, and a sense of audience.
You'll have read widely in the field of contemporary children’s literature.
