Course Overview

It was Hull where Philip Larkin lived and worked at the University's Brynmor Jones Library for 30 years, writing most of his best work. A maritime city that connected outwards and brought some of the exotic back to northern England.

Embracing Hull's global-facing outlook, MA Professor and accomplished author Martin Goodman describe the University's MA Creative Writing as an inspiring and collegial environment for online students who want to develop their distinctive voice as creative writers.
