Criticism
Reading, writing, and thinking about writing is a vital part of our postgraduate courses. Students are encouraged to read widely and think deeply, on a broad range of texts during their studies, whether they are focusing on a purely creative, or critical pathway.
The Friday Critique
Instigated by our Publishing Fellow, Manuela Moser, The Friday Critique is a 'flash-criticism' project, bringing fast, short-form reviews of new writing into the world on a weekly basis. Reviews are written by students on our creative writing courses. Novelists, scriptwriters, poets, critics and readers; they are invested in contemporary literature, and dedicated to generating healthy, dynamic critical debate.
The Twelve Reads of Christmas
Every year we're amazed at the round up of publications and productions by writers associated with the Seamus Heaney Centre, and while we've had fewer opportunities to squeeze into No Alibis Bookstore and raise glasses together, this year has been no exception.
The Twelve Reads of Christmas is a series of 60-second recommendations to celebrate some of the new writing, produced this year by our staff, students, Fellows and friends.
