MA Writing for Young People(Online)

... United Kingdom
... Bath Spa University

Course Overview

Writing workshops lie at the heart of the course, helping you to gain wide-ranging insights into your writing strengths and weaknesses and to experiment with your writing in a supportive but disciplined environment. A critical aspect of the course is the chance to meet other aspiring writers, learn from them, and develop the creative networks that will support you in the next stage of your writing career.

Workshop modules lead to the production of a full manuscript – or a substantial proportion of one – with a clear understanding of how to complete the book. While most students focus on Middle Grade or Young Adult prose fiction, others choose picture books, chapter books, collections, verse novels, or even narrative non-fiction for their manuscript project.

Your writing will be underpinned by an increased understanding of children and young people as readers, of the current publishing industry, and of good practice in submitting to agents and publishers. You'll acquire the core skills and knowledge working authors need in order to give their work the best chance of success in the marketplace.
