Join our international community of writers at the University of Lincoln and produce a work of literary excellence with one of our dedicated expert mentors. Our low-residency MFA in Creative Writing and Publishing is an innovative and exciting programme that provides opportunities to work closely with professionals from the publishing and creative industries. As a fine arts rather than an English programme, it is designed to encourage you to improve your craft as a writer, develop your philosophy of composition, explore contemporary forms of literature, learn about the publishing world as well as the creative industries, and - most importantly - write the book you've always wanted to write. Creative Writing at Lincoln is considered a centre of excellence, with a strong tradition of student-focused, innovative, and emancipatory pedagogies. As a result, our Creative Writing alumni have published work in international journals and anthologies, secured publishing and agency contracts, won literary prizes and writing grants, and have gone on to work in publishing, academia, journalism, broadcasting, marketing, project management, and television.
