This module helps you to consider the wider context of contemporary creative writing: publishing models, prize culture, and reviewing. Who wins book prizes, who gets reviewed, and who appears on the ‘best of’ lists?  

Through a series of case studies and critical readings, you’ll expand your knowledge of the contemporary publishing landscape and consider the contexts and publication routes for your own creative writing. We help you to gain the knowledge and skills needed to write reviews and essays, and understand routes to publication, including how to pitch to relevant publications.
