Lancaster was one of the very first universities to teach creative writing. Today we continue to lead in the discipline with our celebrated novelists, poets and playwrights.

Focused on your growth We’ve been helping writers reach their potential since 1970. From day one, our focus has always been on helping our students hone their work, and sharpen the myriad skills involved in writing at the very highest levels.

This emphasis continues today so that the focus in all your modules will, ultimately, be your own writing.

With our many author-tutors, you can explore traditional forms such as the short story, the novel, poetry, theatre, as well as digital media, life-writing, place-writing, graphic novels, writing for games, the lyric essay, and writing for young adults.

Support from experts There is plenty of opportunity to meet your tutors face-to-face to discuss your work, and you’ll find they are friendly, interested and encouraging. You’ll also have an academic advisor who will develop an overview of your progress and offer further support.

In the third term, we assign you a genre-specific expert to help develop your final portfolio. This is intended to be suitable for submission to literary journals or agents, setting you on the road to publication.

Literary Community Many of our special literary events (readings, conversations etc) take place in the Castle Quarter, with the Department’s flagship events, the October Lecture and May Gathering, being usually held at Lancaster’s ancient Priory. In addition, we have a unique partnership with the archive-rich Wordsworth Museum at Grasmere, which includes internships, an annual study retreat day, and free entry at any time of the year.

Most years our Creative Writing MAs publish an anthology, and compete for a place within our student showcase at Lancaster city’s very own LitFest Read less
