A sense of community

I found it really helpful to have the structure and support of the MA Creative and Life Writing to help develop my writing - a dedicated space that I wouldn't have had otherwise. 

I was able to learn from and forge connections with other writers (staff and students), and find a sense of community. 

Life beyond Goldsmiths

I am now a poet, writer and editor.

Currently, I'm a Royal Literary Fund fellow, and editor-in-chief of the sleep app Sleep Worlds, as well as working on my own writing projects.

Advice for future students

Everybody's experience is different. Think of it as a process of discovery.

Exploring South London

I grew up in north London but had never spent much time south of the river so it was great to discover the other side of my city through studying in New Cross.
