Being Mslexic

I've been a huge fan of Mslexia since I first subscribed as an undergraduate. Mslexia, 'For women who write', has been a source of inspiration, encouragement and joy throughout my writing journey. So it was delightful to be asked to make a small contribution for a feature in the latest issue.

Katie M Anderson, a fantastic writer, trainer and consultant, composed the feature about life after completing a creative writing MA and asked several writers, including myself, about our experiences of our writing-life post MA. It was a huge privilege to be asked. The article is great - detailing anecdotal response and also hard facts about how many writers go on to publish work after finishing a creative writing MA.

It is an encouraging read, especially given the recent resurrection of the debate of the value of the creative writing MA. Read more about Katie's article here, on her blog, and find out more about Mslexia here. Thank you, Katie for the brilliant article, and to Mslexia for producing a cracking publication.
