The New Creative

Hi everyone this is the new blog spot for The New Creative, The University of Sunderland's Creative writing magazine. Hopefully this blog will help spread the word about what we are all about. Basically The New Creative came about as a result of many students inquiring and questioning 'what makes poetry and what makes poetry good.' So it was decided that The New Creative would be created and students from all over the University of Sunderland, along with other universities would get together and write and publish poetry, short stories and short dramatic sketches- we are preparing for new issues to be publised, so please keep your eyes out for it.

"UNDER THE SUN"
University of Sunderland
CREATIVE WRITING GROUP:


Calling all creative people in Sunderland University!
Anyone who has any connection with the university and is interested in getting together with other writers, whether you are a beginner, have been writing for some time and want to know what other people will think of your work, or have been getting material published in magazines and so on – this is the place for you.

Meetings will be held on the last Tuesday of every month, at 6pm. The venue will be announced on posters around Priestman so keep your eyes open!

It will be primarily run by Vikki Callaghan, although where possible we will have Colin Younger down as he has a vast knowledge when it comes to creative writing! It will be based on the tried and tested group method of bringing along material to read to the group and getting or giving feedback on what you hear. Everyone will have the opportunity to read and be read at least once in a given semester and maybe even every meeting if the numbers and material permit.

Great looking site. Have seen the last two editions of "The Creative" and thought they were inspirational! Keep going, good luck with the third, looking forward to it.

I love reading 'The Creative'. I can't wait for the next issue and hope that one day I myself can get published in it!
