You are cordially invited to the launch of the UEA CREATIVE WRITING ANTHOLOGY, 2009: tomorrow's best writers today. Attend and get your copy at a reduced price ahead of the official release on OCT 31st.

UEA is proud to announce two new anthologies of work from their world-renowned creative writing MA. The UEA CREATIVE WRITING ANTHOLOGY: PROSE features a foreword by alumna Tracy Chevalier and introductions from Kathryn Hughes, Andrew Cowan and Val Taylor. It showcases thirty talented new writers from the Prose, Scriptwriting and Lifewriting strands as they lead us through the musings of a hairstylist, the birth of a snow child, and the fjords of Norway telling fine tales of refugees, lovers and Republican bloggers along the way.

The UEA CREATIVE WRITNG ANTHOLOGY: EIGHT NEW POETS is introduced by prize-wining poets Lavinia Greenlaw and George Szirtes and brings together eight fresh and fine new voices from all around the world (Australia, Bermuda, Greece, Hong Kong, New Mexico, and the UK) – some already being heard and heralded.

“UEA has a knack of discovering writers with a distinctive voice – in this case 40 distinctive voices – and these latest anthologies prove that standards remain high. Thoughtful prose, considered poetry, provocative stories that stay in the mind, extracts from novels that make one long for the finished book. Read them and sample the future.” – John Boyne, 2009

The MA has produced numerous impressive and prize-winning alumni, including Ian McEwan, Anne Enright, Tracy Chevalier, Kazuo Ishiguro, Adam Foulds, John Boyne, Kathryn Simmonds, Diana Evans, Trezza Azzopardi, Owen Sheers, Toby Litt and Deirdre Madden.

THERE ARE TWO LAUNCH EVENTS, ONE IN NORWICH AND ONE IN LONDON, FOR BOTH ANTHOLOGIES
