As you progress you can explore specialisms such as transgressive writing, crime fiction, sci-fi, and American literature.  In your final year, you’ll also learn about the publishing industry and how to submit your work to professional magazines and markets. As one of our writers, you’ll have the opportunity to work closely with professionals from the Everyman Theatre, and see your work performed by actors in a staged reading.
