Creative Writing

What do writers do after completing an MA in Creative Writing at Bath Spa?

In this recorded online event, six former MA students from our MA Creative Writing share their experiences of the course along with insights into their careers and paths to publication. Our guest speakers write fiction, poetry and non fiction. They also organise events.

This event is sponsored by Bath Spa University and delivered in partnership with Novel Nights, a literary events organisation set up by Bath Spa University alum, Grace Palmer.
