We are fortunate to have a number of highly successful published writers of fiction and poetry in the Department, who can share their insights with you. The Department’s commitment to contemporary literature, and its contacts with eminent authors, allow us to place your degree studies in Creative Writing in an exciting wider context. We will also give you guidance on how you can get your work published, so that you can share your success with others. At Chester, we pride ourselves on teaching Creative Writing in a professional but supportive environment.

Creative Writing graduates typically follow careers in such areas as journalism, editing, teaching, copywriting, marketing, arts administration, librarianship, broadcasting and public relations. Many follow up their degree with post-graduate study. Creative Writing teaches many transferable skills, such as communication, persuasion, presentation, listening, working independently, and time management.
