Applications open for UEA’s 2027 Creative Writing Summer School
By: Communications
Applications are now open for the 2027 Creative Writing Summer School at UEA, following the success of its inaugural programme this summer.
The Fiction in all its Forms: Creative Writing Summer School is a short-term programme for international students to study creative writing.
The course is focused on place writing with lectures, workshops, and study tours that inspired students to write about place in its myriad forms.
The previous cohort’s study tours included a guided walk through Norwich, Holkham Estate, visits to the Sainsbury Centre and British Archive for Contemporary Writing, and independent writing time to explore the UEA Broads.
Over two weeks, the students will experience the creative writing instruction that UEA is known for around the world in sessions taught by various members of faculty.
They will also have a chance to share their own work at a Student Reading night where they presented new work developed while at UEA.
Participants travelled from across the globe for the inaugural programme, including from the United States, the Netherlands, France and China to take part in the Summer School.
After completing the course, all the participants reported that they would recommend the course to others, remarking that the experience had been encouraging and inspiring.
