Manchester Centre for New Writing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Manchester's Centre for New Writing runs taught MA courses and PhD research programmes in creative and critical writing. Its website claims that "It was formed to develop and refine postgraduate and undergraduate students' writing, and explore and research collaboration between creative and critical work."
It has a staff of distinguished writers including the novelists Patricia Duncker, M. J. Hyland and Martin Amis, whose appointment as Professor of Creative Writing was announced in February 2007.[1]
The Centre also runs the 'Literature Live' series of events,[2] in which well known contemporary novelists and poets read from and discuss their work with an audience of students and members of the public. Martin Amis is also set to participate in a series of public events in Manchester throughout the year.
