Shelley Harris portrait

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.
