As we near the end of the academic year and look towards the summer, we at Team UoG wanted to catch up on a few notable student and alumni achievements that we may have missed in the whirlwind of the teaching semester.\u00a0 First up, 3rd year graduate and UoG Alumni Maz Cope has won the runner up prize for the Media Trust Breaking into News 2016 <\/a>Programme.\u00a0 There were thousands of applicants and in the end it was whittled down to 10 finalists, 1 winner, and 1 runner up.\u00a0 An interview with our lecturer Martin Randall formed part of Maz’s entry – you can check out a picture of Maz with fellow finalists below (second from right).<\/p>\n

Current students have also been busy.\u00a0 Graduating 3rd year Amy Ford has had a story accepted in The Ghastling<\/em> <\/a>– a super-cool genre mag that specializes in classic horror and suspense.\u00a0 Amy’s classmate Heather Cripps has also placed a story, ‘A Little Less Full and a Little More Empty’, with The Forge<\/em> <\/a>literary magazine.\u00a0 Appropriately enough, Heather developed the story on our module HM6101: The Writing Business & Getting Published<\/a>.\u00a0 Finally, fellow 3rd year Reece McCormack had a major success in becoming a finalist for Glimmer Train’s<\/em> <\/a>short story award for new writers.\u00a0 His dissertation project, ‘Something With Miles on It’ was selected for the prestigious accolade: Glimmer Train<\/em> is one of North America’s most highly regarded professional outlets for short fiction.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, these student successes will inspire upcoming students to aim for the same – and we look forward to announcing more achievements and accolades next year!<\/p>\n
