This module explores the ways in which literature and writing about literature feature in academic and cultural worlds. The first day-long session teaches students how to maximise their potential as researchers in academia, considering such topics as how to make use of library and archival resources, how to identify a research project, oral presentations skills, and applying for further academic studies. The second day considers the ways in which writing and research on literature as well as literary writing itself can be disseminated in the wider cultural world. We will look at such topics as literary events and festivals, arts organisations, arts marketing, networking, publishing online and in print, fundraising and sponsorship. Students develop an independent research project in close consultation with a supervisor from among the academic staff and organise the final event of the module, the MA day where all participants deliver oral presentations

This course can be studied alone or as part of the MA Creative Writing or the MA Literature, Culture and Modernity.
