Do i need to have an A level in english to get into university to do an english/creative writing degree?

creative writing degree

Okay here’s my story, well when it was time to decide which subject i wanted to take for college, i couldnt make my mind up and decided that taking business would be a safe decision.

now its my last year in college and i really want to do creative writing or english literature at uni. But i am stuck and i am taking a gap year.

In my gap year i am going to america for work experience for three months, returning and was thinking of taking private creative writing lessons in london coz i thought that it would help my chances of doing english at uni and add a little bit of credibility.

i am also going to submit my own piece of creative writing when applying to university.

what do you think people, do you think doing the private lessons will help??? any chances of me getting into uni with my business qualifications??? i am so confused, m losing the will to live lol..:(

What can you do with an english degree?

creative writing degree

I already have a different plan for my full time job, but am pretty strong in the english area and was wondering what kind of work I could do with a degree in it.

I feel stupid saying this but are there ‘creative writing’ degrees? Probably just diplomas or something right?

Thanks.

Do you know of a good site for creative writing prompts and exercises?

Hi. I’m looking for a good site that offers creative writing prompts or creative writing exercises since I heard that anyone who is serious about writing should do creative writing exercises. So does anyone know of a good one?

What do you think about a social science:psychology degree with a minor in English or Creative Writing?

creative writing degree

I know there are some people who would say this is a ‘useless’ degree, but I disagree. I like that Social Science covers so much. I was thinking about either a concentration in psychology or a concentration in economics, though I am more interested in psych, and I’m not great at math, which might be a problem for the econ.

I might want to go into teaching, but maybe not.

Any opinions on this degree, what I would be able to do with it, and how difficult it would be?

Thanks

I’m trying to make an online community for my regional creative writing group, but can’t find a good platform?

creative writing online

i need a comprehensive forum with editable mod, admin, and additional user groups, as well as the ability to layer categories, boards, and threads.
I’d also like to get a platform with additional features such as a blog, guestbook, photogallery, rules, etc. But i understand getting everything i want is unlikely and just wishful thinking. I’ve done a lot of research, and we have bounced about a few sites that never really worked for us, and we’re at a dead end, so any help is appreciated. Hopefully we’ll be able to get all the additional features in the world in addition, and obviously it being free would be nice but i expect neither and would be fine with just a few of the additional features or even none of them if the form is really extraordinary. I also realize i will probably end up paying either a one off, or a subscription cost, but that is no problem either.

Should my boyfriend and I move to Boston or San Francisco?

mfa writing

Some details about our situation:
1. We’re originally from the South and have lived in Chicago for two winters and don’t wanna deal with another winter here. We would move within the next six months.
2. We have two cats.
3. We don’t need more than one bedroom.
4. We’re both liberal arts types in our mid-20s, with mostly writing, non-profit and administrative backgrounds.
5. We are starting a non-profit literary magazine, and will be pursuing funding wherever we end up moving.
6. I want to eventually go to grad school to get my MFA in creative writing, and he wants to pursue his Masters in either English or social work.
7. We don’t have a car, and probably won’t be able to afford one for quite a while.
8. He has several friends in Boston and a sister in San Francisco. I know hardly anyone in either city.

Where could a degree in business, creative writing, and Media and Marketing get me in life?

creative writing degree

No, I’m not immediately jumping into this.
I’m not even in high school.
It’s just the job my sight is set on requires like…freaking ALL of these.
Not that I want to do them all necessary, but if need be…
Wait, would it take a really long chunk out of my life just to get these three out of the way?
Is it even legal to have all three?
xD
