Manchester is a City of creative talent. You’re thinking of Morrissey, of Steve Coogan, and of the Gallagher brothers. You might also be thinking of Michelle Keegan, and Max from the Wanted. Intimidating, I know. Well, did you know that the University of Manchester teaches an MA in Creative Writing?
In between the absinthe and existential crises, the class of 2016 are putting together an Anthology of their work. Late in the summer, there will be a collection of extracts from all of these upcoming poets and fiction writers, bound together in a lovely print book with cover art and author photographs; what’s more, the anthology will be offered to a readership of agents, ever seeking new talent.
On September 8th, there will also be a launch night. More details will follow soon, but it will be amazing.
Who knows, you might get to read the work of the next E.L. James, or one day, with luck and hard work, Katie Price? Don’t miss it.
