Master of Creative Writing

at Auckland University of Technology

Peer feedback and networking with industry bodies (including publishers, writers' societies and the film industry), are key components of this creative writing programme. We also follow up with regular alumni meetings, and creative writing staff and alumni have gone on to collaborate on successful publishing initiatives.

As well as literary fiction, we encourage high-quality work in young adult fiction, travel writing, biography, screenplays, graphic novels, children’s stories, narrative journalism and creative non-fiction. Poetry and experimental image/text work are also covered.

The Master of Creative provides a supportive, dynamic environment where students can develop creative works in a variety of genres and media. Class size is limited to 14 students.
