Corsair is a literary imprint of the independent publisher Constable and Robinson. Constable was established in 1785 and published Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1897 and Henry James's The Wings of the Dove in 1902. It launched Corsair in 2010 with Jennifer Egan's Pulitzer prizewinning A Visit From The Good Squad, and was announced as the Independent Publisher of the Year in 2012.

The Corsair Bursary was inaugurated in 2012 to enable a student to study the MA in Creative Writing (Prose Fiction) at UEA. The bursary is open to students undertaking the course who will be aged 25 or younger at the start of the academic year in which they begin their MA. It is worth £5,000, and the recipient is chosen by a panel at Corsair, based on the creative material submitted by students for admission to the course. The inaugural winner of the bursary was American student, Sara Taylor.
