Goldsmiths, university of london: creative writing.

The inter-relationship between theory, scholarship and the creative process is key to the Goldsmiths MPhil/PhD in Creative Writing.

You'll be expected to combine your own creative writing – whether poetry, fiction or life writing – with research into the genre or area of literature in which you are working, to gain insight into its history and development, and to engage with relevant contemporary debates.

This might be genre in the more traditional sense, for example satire, fictional autobiography, verse drama, or particular traditions to which you feel your work relates, for example projective verse, postmodernist fiction, or Caribbean poetics.

This element of the PhD – the critical commentary – will constitute around 30% of the final work; the major part – 70% – will be a creative work of publishable standard: a novel, memoir, book of poems or collection of stories, for example.

Goldsmiths creative writing students and alumni Former and current PhD students include the following published writers and poets:

2019 Booker Prize-winning Bernardine Evaristo, whose Jerwood Fiction Uncovered-winning book Mr Loverman was written, in part, at Goldsmiths Season Butler Tom Lee Benjamin Woolley Linda Buckley-Archer Wendy Jones Justin Hill Sophie Ward Francis Gilbert Emma Darwin Virginia Peters Thomas Sykes Aoife Mannix Katrina Naomi Kate Miller (winner of the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry Prize) Kathryn Maris Jack Underwood Abigail Parry Matthew Gregory Jenny Lewis

Diversity and Inspiration

Friedland, Deborah ; Troiano, Gabriel and Gilbert, Francis , eds. 2022. Diversity and Inspiration. London: Gold Publishing (Centre for Languages, Culture and Learning). ISBN 9781913694074 [Edited Book]

Abstract or Description

Inspiration and Diversity: Get Writing Gets Different is an unusual and rousing anthology, aimed at creative teachers, community members who want to set up writing groups, people with mental and physical health challenges who are interested in using writing to help them, and anyone interested in creative pedagogies. You’ll find here a wealth of fascinating creative writing, research and teaching tips. Written by graduates from the MA in Creative Writing and Education at Goldsmiths, it seeks to address some of the most contemporary concerns in our society from Black Lives Matter to bringing up young children, from teaching creative writing to English as Second Language Learners to encouraging all teachers to use creative approaches to dealing with stress. The anthology is wonderfully eclectic and playful, full of sage advice and research-informed strategies for developing creativity and creative writing. Much of the work was produced during the 2020-21 Covid pandemic and echoes some of the issues that this tragedy unleashed for us all.
