New Writing

Following the successful launch of its creative writing workshops in India last year, UEA will be offering a third workshop in Calcutta this April. The course will be led by two prize-winning novelists: UEA Professor of Contemporary Literature Amit Chaudhuri (pictured) and Dundee Professor of Writing Practice and Study, Kirsty Gunn. Modelled on UEA’s Creative Writing MA, the eight-day course will be aimed at students who wish to develop their skills as writers of fiction through a series of intensive workshops, tutorials, lectures, public talks and other events. Twenty-four places are available on the course, which begins on 3rd April 2014. The deadline for applications is 20th February. Course fees are Rs25,000 (Indian rupees), approximately £290 (British pounds), excluding accommodation. Applicants should send a 2,000 word sample of their writing with a CV and a reference to Beatrice Poubeau at b.poubeau@uea.ac.uk. Alternatively, paper applications can be posted to The School of Literature, Drama and Creative Writing, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich NR4 7TJ, United Kingdom.
