Hello,
I've recently thought about doing an MA in Creative Writing and I'm just wondering what are others thoughts about such MAs generally. I'm not looking for any particular recomendations as such; I'm limited to where I can go, travel wise. But hearing (reading?)experiances would be great. Was it done full time or part? How demanding was the course? Has it helped your career? That sort of thing.

And for those of you who have gone on to do an even higher level of education - why did you choose to do so?

I'd appreciate all and any help anyone could give me,
Thanks, Kate

Hi Kate

We had a thread on this, not so long ago, in Private Members, and I see that you're a Full Member, so you can see it here:

Thank you, Emma. Not sure how I'd missed that thread, but it was really interesting!

Well I did a search, and it threw up all sorts of things, but not that: I had to dig backwards in Private Members...

I also blogged more generally about the pros and cons of doing a writing course, including the MAs here:
