Creating Writing is an important subject in the School of English Literature, Language & Linguistics. QW38: English Literature with Creative Writing students have the opportunity to try different forms and genres of writing before specialising in Stages 2 and 3. Prose is a popular writing strand, focusing on short stories, novellas and chapters within longer pieces of fiction.
A Journey (available to download above) is an example of prose written by a QW38 student who has kindly given permission for us to share their work.
Given the title ‘A Journey’ the author has described a train journey to London as a wheelchair user. The piece is personable, insightful and highlights some of the everyday accessibility concerns that wheelchair users encounter everyday.
If you were given the title ‘A Journey’ what journey would you write about?
We hope you’ve enjoyed this insight into the exciting work our students have been creating.
