Creative Writing students and staff here at UoG have been busy this semester, and it\u2019s high time we caught up with some of their recent achievements.\u00a0 First up, \u00a0MA student Rachel Clements has had a new story, ‘Nostalgia Caf\u00e9’,\u00a0 accepted over at Popshot <\/a>magazine.\u00a0 The story, developed as part of her MA coursework, will appear in April.\u00a0 Secondly, undergraduate student Amy Wright has landed a position writing freelance articles for SelectSpecs\u2019 online magazine<\/a>.\u00a0 You can check out her recent articles on what eyewear to wear on a Valentine\u2019s Day date<\/a>, or Meryl Streep<\/a>\u2019s impeccable style and specs.<\/p>\n\n

Our teaching team has had recent successes, too.\u00a0 Dramatic Writing lecturer and author Senja Andrejevic has had a new short story, \u2018Theotokos\u2019, published over at The Scrutiny Journal<\/a>. The magic realist piece is based on a Serbian legend and can be read here<\/a>.\u00a0 Our Undergraduate Course\u00a0 Leader Tyler Keevil has also had a new story published, over at Somesuch Stories<\/a>, which can be read here <\/a>(though be warned: this one\u2019s not for the squeamish!); in addition, Tyler recently won the Missouri Review\u2019s Jeffrey E. Smith Editors\u2019 prize,<\/a> in the non-fiction category. \u00a0His winning piece, \u2018Swarf\u2019, is about a workplace accident at a factory in Mid Wales, and will appear in their spring issue.<\/p>\n

\"masthead\"<\/p>\n

Last but certainly not least, Dramatic Writing lecturer Miranda Walker has been commissioned by CBBC to write on Series 4 of TV sketch show Diddy TV<\/a><\/em>, starring Ted Robbins with Dick and Dom.\u00a0 In the show, Dick and Dom are the producers and presenters of their own appallingly bad\u00a0TV channel, bankrolled by Larry Weinsteinberger (Ted Robbins).\u00a0 Each Diddy TV<\/em> episode also features a guest star, such as Reece Shearsmith<\/a> (Psychoville, Inside No 9, League of Gentlemen<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Miranda is having a great time writing TV show parodies! \u00a0Series 4 will be transmitted in 2018, but Series 3 goes out this month.\u00a0 You can check out the trailer here:<\/p>\n
