I am so excited to return to OxfordBrookesEnglish next week for the launch of the MA creative writing anthology ❤️

In April, I passed by Rowley’s in London where I took mom & dad to have ‘British food’. I was about to do an MA in UEA. When I applied I had a vague idea what this MA is like. I didn’t know anyone who did it. Would I do a CW MA/PhD again if I could? Yes💙

Looking forward to this writing HK event in Leeds 8 May with fellow writers Kit Fan Karen Cheung, Prof Frances Weightman and Prof Gregory Lee
