Program Overview

Program Description:

Being a great writer starts with being an enthusiastic and critical reader of all kinds of texts, from Shakespeare to flash fiction. By introducing you to other people's writing and criticism and helping you understand contemporary writing practice, Creative Writing at Falmouth will give you the knowledge and skills to develop your own voice and gain confidence as a writer.

With a range of options at each stage of the course, you'll gain an understanding of the creative process - from generating ideas to preparing work for submission or performance - and learn how to take your writing into the professional world beyond university. Building on a theoretical foundation gained through reading and analysing both literary and non-literary texts - from novels and films to music and digital media - you'll make connections between writers of different periods, the development of new technologies and the implications of your own writing.
