Just wondering if there is anyone else out there starting this September? I haven't yet been accepted but am hoping to be very soon. Am sending in my application tomorrow.

I have finally submitted my application this morning! Pretty late, really, but got there in the end. If anyone else reads this, and is also starting a course soon - good luck!

Good luck! Where did you apply to? I’ve been think about the MMU course but it seems such a big leap of faith....

I did an MA in Creative Writing at night, and really loved it. Hope you get accepted!

Thanks Read & HollowTalk

I went for the interview yesterday, & the professor offered me a place. I don't really want to say where it's at, as it will be outing potentially. It's a great institution, though (not in a Russell Group way.)

I was going to do it FT, which would be 2 evenings a week, but I've opted for the PT, so I'll have 1 evening a week contact time. That'll be plenty for me with DCs and work.

HollowTalk Can I ask, are you a published writer? Has it helped your career in anyway? Glad to hear you enjoyed it so much. Did you struggle to get all the work done with family & work committments?
