Creative Writing: Fiction Genres
An innovative module that will introduce the student to the art of writing within a broad range of genres.
Weekly lectures will introduce each student to authors of specific genres, such as crime writing, historical fiction, fairytale, horror, fantasy, science fiction, romance and writing desire. Each lecture will be followed by a seminar that will focus on a variety of methods used to write in that specific genre.
Regular assignments will offer the student a opportunity to write creatively - a unique opportunity to expand, discover, and explore their emerging writerly voice.
Built into the module is a wide reaching reading programme that will assist each student to be conversant with the traditions of writing in a specific genre, whilst encouraging close reading and editing skills.
Students will be taught by published authors who work within these particular genres, and will also have the opportunity to hear these authors read & discuss their own new work and works-in-progress.
The module aims to examine the structure, voice, setting and genre, of specific written material so as to initiate curiosity, create empathy, and focus on increasing an understanding of the structures used within writing character, setting and historical context in a specific genre. Emphasis will be placed on the theory and practice of reading, comprehension and writing.

Creative Writing Dissertation
The Creative Writing dissertation requires the creation of an extended, original piece of creative writing, defined and devised in discussion between supervisor and student. This can be fiction, poetry, stage play, screenplay, creative non-fiction, or other appropriate form of writing. The creative work must be accompanied by a critical reflection upon the student¿s own practice. The creative work can be a continuation of the student¿s work on the MA program or can represent a wholly new piece of work.
