Shelley Harris believes studying creative writing allows you to grow on many levels. Not only do students improve their craft, but they gain confidence in themselves and a host of other valuable transferable skills as well.
Shelley, a bestselling novelist, has a wealth of practical experience, and students benefit from her expertise in both writing and publishing.
Her first book, Jubilee, was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize. It was featured on Radio 4's Book at Bedtime and as a Richard and Judy Book Club Choice. Shelley is also the author of Vigilante. She has tutored in creative writing for the Oxford University Department of Continuing Education, the Arvon Foundation, Faber Academy and the York and Winchester Festivals of Writing. Shelley has also mentored for Writers' Centre Norwich and the Womentoring Project, and is a Royal Literary Fund Fellow.
"What's great at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø is that we have staff who are currently publishing."
