Entry requirements

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 will have a degree. This may be in subjects other than Creative Writing.

This is not a beginner’s course, so we will be looking for evidence of originality in your writing for young people, and a sense of audience.

You will have read widely in the field of contemporary children’s literature.
