Imperial launches first UK Masters in Creative Non-Fiction Writing
A new Masters programme in Creative Non-Fiction Writing will start at Imperial
in October 2005. The first programme of its type to run in the UK, the creative
non-fiction course will tackle writing at length by developing craft skills that
combine analytical expertise, factual research, and explanatory techniques. "To
get beyond the image of the half-articulate scientist and avoid the dead hand
of the textbook you have to have an edge," explains Nick Russell, director of
science communication. "While there is a large number of postgraduate courses
in creative writing to help people who want to write fiction, programmes in
journalism and professional writing for those aspiring to write for newspapers
and magazines, there is no British course for those aiming to write non-fiction
at book length."
