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.
This is an online version of an already well-established course, introduced to provide greater flexibility for ambitious writers for whom studying on-campus isn’t an option.
We relish how different all our students are. Our MA Writing for Young People students are passionate about children’s and Young Adult literature, committed to developing their craft, open to considering a wide range of views and willing to engage with all sorts of aspects of writing and publishing books for children and teens.
Our students are also able to be analytical and take a conscientious approach to helping their peers develop and learn through constructive feedback.
We’re looking for people who have the potential to be published, who have some understanding of the current children’s publishing landscape, and who have something special to contribute to their fellow students.
Most applicants will have an undergraduate degree; however we’re willing to look at applications from those with non-traditional academic or work backgrounds who meet the criteria summarised above.
