MA Fiction Prize
Information
This fund was established to allow a creative fiction writer of excellent potential to focus full-time on the completion of a manuscript.
The prize is awarded to a student who, through their folio of work, demonstrates that they have excellent potential as a creative fiction writer and would benefit greatly from the opportunity afforded by the prize of focusing full-time on completion of a manuscript. The student will not necessarily be the best writer of creative fiction on the course. The decision will be based on the excellence and potential of the writer's MA creative fiction folio. Also considered will be the degree of benefit from the opportunity afforded by the prize of focusing full-time on completion of a manuscript.
The prize is awarded at the end of the Masters in Creative Writing course to enable a student to complete a manuscript for publication. The recipient will be chosen in early December each year.
The recipient will be chosen by the Director (or nominee) and the MA creative fiction workshop convenors of the IIML, and may take into account the views of external MA examiners
The recipient will be asked to write a letter of appreciation, which will be forwarded appropriately.
