Alison O'Malley- Younger


Hi, I’m Dr Alison O’Malley-Younger, Programme Leader for English and Creative Writing at the University of Sunderland. My role, along with Professor John Strachan, Professor Paddy Lyons (Glasgow) and the famous novelist Carol Clewlow is to act as part of an advisory body for the New Creative. It’s also my responsibility to raise funding to ensure that the quality of the publication continues to meet its high standards.

I’m delighted to see how the magazine has evolved to become an excellent forum for our students to publish their work alongside established writers. I love the striking, funky new cover designed by Max Strachan, (it’s hard to believe he’s only 15!). I also think the Blog is tremendous. Please post your comments and contribute to what is a tremendously exciting venture. Well done to Colin, Vikki, Rob and Stephen for developing this. Excellent stuff!

Creative Writing is going into orbit at Sunderland. For this reason we are extending admissions to our new English and Creative Writing degree into semester 2, (from February). This means you haven’t missed the boat if you want to join us. As the saying goes, though demand is high so contact us while there are still places. All you need to do is drop me a line on alison.younger@sunderland.ac.uk

Look out for writers coming to speak; get along to the Under the Sun Writers’ group. This is your chance to contribute and be a part of it all.

All that remains is to say ‘welcome’
Best Wishes
Alison
