No additional requirements

In this unit students produce on a book proposal and work on a 10,000 word creative manuscript (or equivalent in the case of poetry), which may be a complete work such as a themed collection of poetry or short stories, creative nonfiction essays, the opening chapters of a longer work such as a novella or novel, or a digital interactive text-based work. There are no classes or workshops: students work independently with regular written and verbal feedback from a writing supervisor. It is expected that the final work will be of a potentially publishable standard. This unit is only available to students who have achieved an excellent result in ENGX8026. Contact the Course Director for further information on how to apply for direct entry to this unit.
