Hear from English and Creative Writing student Carmel, who shares her favourite things about studying at Keele.

Creative writing to me, is my voice. It's the belief that I have something worthy of sharing and giving me the confidence to share it proudly.

The best thing about studying Creative Writing at Keele is by far the community. Everyone is so supportive in helping you become the writer you want to be. Confidence is an amazing thing when you are a writer or an aspiring creative and it is so crucial to not only have the writing skills that the degree prepares you with, but to believe that you can use them in whatever capacity that you need.

The facilities available to you as a Creative Writing student are just fantastic. Most importantly, I think the library is just amazing. You can find anything in there.

I'm most proud of securing a placement at Keele’s Podcast Studio as the Production Manager. It's been a fantastic opportunity to broaden my creative skills and put everything I've learned on the degree so far to the test and produce something that I am very, very proud of that I never thought I could do.
