Creative Writing
“Storytelling is at the centre of Creative Writing at Goldsmiths. How we each tell our story is essential to who we are and to what we become. Studying Storytelling at Goldsmiths offers a toolbox which, going forward, is of immense practical and creative use. Storytelling stays with the students whether they become professional writers or not. It invariably proves useful in the many fields they enter.
This year’s cohort produced wonderful, original and challenging work. Their pieces include memoirs and imaginative work to issue-driven stories. They wrote TV dramas, films and short stories with topics and genres, ranging from family dramas, to horror, gothic and a road movie. The stories were set all over the Globe including China, Korea, Ireland, Somerset, London, Colombia and the USA.”
