Student Profile(s)

Lisa Derrick

The MA English Literature & Creative Writing empowered me to feel like a writer. At times, I wrote new stories each week, which I shared in class. Receiving constructive criticism from tutors and other students helped me to see what elements of my writing worked, and what didn’t. My editing skills were becoming fierce! It was great to have a split of literature and creative writing.
