Our students and researchers are based in the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics. We have a number of high profile writers on staff who offer PhD supervision, including the award-winning short story writer, poet and memoirist Jackie Kay and the prominent poet, dramatist and contemporary critic Sean O'Brien. The Creative Writing section's research interests are very varied, including: Creative Writing theory and practice; short story; novel; children's literature; women's autobiographical writing; memoir; contemporary British poetry; Scottish poetry; poetry in translation; twentieth-century women's poetry; scriptwriting; dramatic structure; dramaturgy; documentary film; cross-platform interactive work; Feminist and Queer theory; trauma theory; writing and health.
We are also home to the Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts, a research centre with the highest reputation for bringing world-class writers to Newcastle to read, give talks, and hold seminars with our PhDs. Recent visitors have included Seamus Heaney, Carol Ann Duffy, Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Paul Muldoon and Marilynne Robinson. We also have an extensive digital archive of past events. We have a large postgraduate body at PhD level, and this busy community of writers are involved with events, publications, and residencies including regular Trashed Organ readings, the online magazine Friction, and the AHRC-funded Write Around the Toon project.
For 2013 entry, Creative Writing is able to submit nominations to an open competition across all the University's Block Grant Partnership (BGP) subjects for the award of an additional two AHRC doctoral studentships through the AHRC's Doctoral Awards scheme.
