Creative Writing

Is this course for you?

This course is for anyone who uses creative writing as an outlet. This is a beginner’s course so it is aimed at anyone who is new to this and curious, or is already writing and wants to enhance their skills.

It is a fun course that will work towards giving you more confidence in yourself as a writer. You will have the opportunity to work with other creative people and clasp that rare chance to share your work, and critique others. It will give you the chance to challenge yourself, reach your best potential, explore the written word and its history, and enhance a hobby that could one day become so much more. Creative writing is a wonderful way to relax the mind of everyday stresses, let your imagination run wild, and create something wonderful.

Required qualifications

What skills will I develop?

This course mainly focuses on narrative writing, such as novels, short stories etc. There is room to offer other forms of creative writing, such as poetry or screen writing, but this would have to be requested. This course will set you up to write the next best-seller, covering such topics as, story structure, dialogue, English skills, character development, avenues to publication etc, but will also explore the reason why you write and why it is an important outlet, discussing motivation, idea generation and craft.

We cover such topics as:

• Creative writing theories
• How to show not tell in your writing
• How to plan your work
• Writing characters
• Writing dialogue
• Story structure from beginning to end (how to draw readers in, how to keep their interest, how to produce a knockout ending)
• Avenues to publication

You could use the skills you obtain in this course to write a novel, or short story, and publish it to becomes an established author. You could also use the transferable skills you gain on this course to blog write, post reviews or critique work.

Next steps – You can gain a qualification in creative writing at University if this is something you want to pursue. We are hoping to host a ‘part two’ to this course, as this has been requested by many previous students, so keep in contact with us for more information.

Although this course is not aimed at direct employment – you could simply want to work on your personal craft for your own ‘me’ time, or use it to understand novels and writing you encounter every day.

English and maths

One lesson is dedicated to grammar and punctuation as this is something that is paramount if you want to submit writing to a publisher. Throughout the course you will learn different literary techniques and skills to enhance your writing.

Other important information

All you need is a pen and notebook to attend this course. I do ask you to share your work also, so access to a computer/email will be helpful.

You have to be 19 years and above to join this course.

Testimonials

“I enjoy sharing a love for creative writing with a class of motivated and imaginative students. If you’ve always been curious about creative writing, enjoy writing in your spare time, and want to develop your gift with a class of like-minded individuals this is the class for you"

You'll become part of the university’s vibrant creative writing ecosystem, with events such as UEA Live , research and internship opportunities in the British Archive for Contemporary Writing , and a host of more informal occasions to share and celebrate your work and hear from prize-winning alumni. You’ll study in the historic city of Norwich, one of UNESCO’s Cities of Literature . You'll benefit from UEA's exceptional expertise in the world-wide breadth and history of literature, building your confidence and authority as a writer. 

You'll graduate a respected and versatile writer, steeped in practical and professional knowledge. You might translate that experience into a career in the creative industries, such as publishing and editing, writing for advertising, marketing, arts, culture, heritage and GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) sector organisations, VR and XR experiences, digital gaming, streaming TV, and more. You may be embarking on a new writing career or you may be an established professional looking to upskill in a changing environment. Perhaps you want to understand more about writing and feel the thrill of seeing your work come together on page or screen. Whatever your ambitions, this course will inspire and enable you to discover your own voice and make the most of it in the next stage in your writer’s journey. 

Study and Modules

This is a year-long course. You'll take two taught modules each semester, and then over the summer you'll complete your dissertation (submitted early September) with the support of your supervisor.   

In the autumn semester, you'll take a Creative Writing workshop in which you'll explore and experiment with a range of forms of writing, from genre fiction to screenwriting and poetry, establishing a competency and confidence across genres.  

At the same time and in dialogue with this module, you'll also be studying the ways digital technology is reshaping writing. This may in turn inspire your creative workshop, leading you to work with multimodal forms or interactive narratives. By the end of the semester, you'll have a firm sense of the exciting potential of writing for new technologies and have begun to incorporate that potential into your writer’s toolkit.  

In the second semester, you'll take a second Creative Writing workshop where you'll continue to establish your craft, confidence and professionalism as a writer across forms. By the end of the semester, you might decide to specialise in a single form or continue to commit to the path of versatility and hybrid experimentation.  

Alongside this second semester module, you'll choose from a rich range of optional modules across the School and Faculty. These draw especially on the wealth of knowledge and experience of the School's literary critics, and currently include modules on writing and play (which encourages your own playful experiments in writing), contemporary fiction, or how writing is inspired by place. These modules will help put your own writing into context and provide you with touchstones for your own creations. 

Over the summer, you'll plunge into the thrilling culmination of your MA – your creative writing dissertation. You'll be supported by a member of our Creative Writing team as you write your project, which will become your calling-card as a writer and help to launch the next phase of your career.    

Compulsory Modules

Workshop: introduction to forms, workshop: finding your forms, creative writing in a digital world, creative writing dissertation, creative writing research methodology conference, optional a modules, theory and practice of fiction, creative encounters, adaptation and interpretation, process and product in translation, creative-critical writing, ludic literature, environmental humanities: human cultures and the natural world, digital storytelling, japanese literature, the non fiction novel, the poetics of place, critically queer: sex, gender and sexuality.

Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, the University will endeavour to consult with students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will inform students.

Teaching and Learning

Throughout the course, you'll benefit from UEA's unrivalled Creative Writing tuition and literary critical expertise. Expert creative writers will both lead your workshops and supervise your dissertation, helping to mentor you as you find your voice as a writer. You'll encounter leading practitioners of many of the forms you'll explore – novelists, scriptwriters, poets – who will help you to hone your craft and give their tips and insights into success in each genre. 

Literature tutors will introduce you to traditions of writing from across the globe, helping you to interpret them and put them into context. But they'll also support you in your own creative experimentation. UEA has many years of experience pioneering forms of 'creative-critical' pedagogy, where you are invited to demonstrate your critical thinking and understanding through writing creatively. In this exciting environment, creative and critical thinking are often fused together.  

Finally, your encounters with contemporary creative digital technology will be facilitated by our cutting-edge BLOC resources . These include our Music and Media Suite, which offers facilities for podcasting, digital design and publishing, audio production, and access to a host of creative software. These facilities are also supported by a superb team of professional technicians who will support you as you discover new creative abilities.  

Over the course of the MA, you’ll build and develop your portfolio of writing. At the end of each of the workshops you'll submit work which demonstrates your growing versatility, craft, and experience as a writer. In your module focused on digital writing, you’ll also be assessed on the underlying writing you produce for a digital form – this could be writing for a podcast, game, XR experience, or even a combination of forms. Your optional module may invite you to write a literary critical essay, further creative work, or an experimental creative-critical piece. Finally, your dissertation will bring your whole creative journey together, where you’ll produce an original piece of 12-15,000 words in length (or equivalent weight, in your chosen form(s)). This piece will be a reflection of the writer you have become. It may demonstrate your growing mastery of a single form – a substantial extract from a work of genre fiction, for instance – or it may show off your dexterity in moving across forms. You may also choose to focus on the digital side of your degree, producing writing for multimodal platforms, such as digital gaming or immersive VR experience.

Creative writing

English literature

Join our community of published writers and readers, nurture your creative talents, and develop keen analytical skills on our BA (Hons) English Literature and Creative Writing programme, where all your first-year books are provided for you to keep, free of charge. As well as being experienced teachers, all our staff are published authors and/or literary critics, so if your dream is to be a writer or to go into the creative industries, we’ll provide opportunities that will help get you there. The course gives you the flexibility to tailor your learning to the type of writing you feel most passionate about, with a choice of critical or creative assignments on most modules. We focus on both the craft of writing and literary criticism - their interrelation and their relevance to the contemporary world. The majority of texts we study are from the 20th/21st centuries, although the course contains enough of the classics (e.g. Shakespeare, Victorian literature) to ensure you'll be school-curriculum ready should you aspire to be a teacher.

In workshops, you’ll analyse texts from across a wide range of literary styles, movements and genres, as well as producing creative and critical work of your own. You’ll gain insight into the world of professional writing and publishing through our practice-led module, The Writing Profession, which walks you through the editorial process from first draft to publication. Our Literature modules delve into contemporary issues, such as cultural identities and the climate emergency. Children’s literature, Gothic literature, magical realism and post-colonial fiction are integral to the programme too.

We are a supportive and friendly department and our staff will work closely with you to help guide you on your individual journey. In addition to your tutors, you’ll encounter visiting writers and/or publishing professionals who can share their real-world experiences in the creative industries. At University level, there are opportunities to explore professional partnerships and we run mentoring schemes that can help you to network and build confidence - essential preparation for life beyond graduation.

English employs an innovative range of assessments including essays, e-learning exercises, poster presentations, reports, reflective diaries, and oral presentations.

Top job areas of graduates

The jobs market for this subject - which includes creative writing and scriptwriting courses - is not currently one of the strongest, so unemployment rates are currently looking quite high overall, with salaries on the lower side. But nevertheless, most graduates get jobs quickly. Graduates often go into careers as authors and writers and are also found in other roles where the ability to write well is prized, such as journalism, translation, teaching and advertising and in web content. Be aware that freelancing and self-employment is common is common in the arts, as are what is termed 'portfolio careers', having several part-time jobs or commissions at once - although graduates from this subject were a little more likely than many other creative arts graduates to be in conventional full time permanent contracts, so that might be worth bearing in mind.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

The graph shows median earnings of graduates who achieved a degree in this subject area one, three and five years after graduating from here.

We've received this information from the Department for Education, via Ucas. This is how the university as a whole has been rated for its quality of teaching: gold silver or bronze. Note, not all universities have taken part in the TEF.

This information comes from the National Student Survey, an annual student survey of final-year students. You can use this to see how satisfied students studying this subject area at this university, are (not the individual course).

This is the percentage of final-year students at this university who were "definitely" or "mostly" satisfied with their course. We've analysed this figure against other universities so you can see whether this is high, medium or low.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
