Introduction
Building a portfolio and pitching one's work are key components of our Graduate Diploma in Creative Writing. Students publish widely and regularly in local, national and international literary journals and magazines, and lead the annual UTS Writers' Anthology, which celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2021. The Graduate Diploma in Creative Writing is a good starting point for early career writers who want to develop craft skills in a range of genres and forms, and who may later develop a major project through the articulated Master of Arts in Creative Writing.
