This programme is available full-time over one academic year or part-time over two years. It enables students to develop their Creative Writing skills through consideration of the work of established writers; through study of the many aspects of a piece of successful Creative Writing; through assignments that foster strategies for revision of work; and through an understanding of the requirements of the redrafting, submission and publication processes. The University of Limerick offers a Master of Arts in Creative Writing. Our Chair of Creative Writing is Joseph O’Connor (author of ten novels including Ghost Light, the million-selling Star of the Sea, Shadowplay, winner of the Novel of the Year Award at the 2019 Irish Book Awards, shortlisted for the UKs prestigious Costa Novel Award, 2020, My Father’s House and The Ghosts of Rome). Our outstanding teachers include multiple award-winning, twice Booker-Prize-longlisted Donal Ryan, (author of The Spinning Heart, From a Low and Quiet Sea, Strange Flowers and Heart, Be at Peace), Irish Book Award nominees Prof Sarah Moore Fitzgerald (The Apple Tart of Hope and A Strange Kind of Brave) and Prof Eoin Devereux, and our acclaimed Meskell UL Fifty Poet in Residence, Dr Emily Cullen. Adjunct Professor Kit deWaal (My Name is Leon) is an important advisory member of the team and offers occasional masterclasses on our MA.
