Creative Writing and Publishing Nanyang Technological University

Overview

As the centre of English language culture in Asia, Singapore’s social and civic influence and allure are enormous. In the fostering and shaping of the next generation of Singaporean writers, NTU has been the dominant institution for the past decade. 

Few Singaporean writers of esteem, locally or internationally, are without a connection to NTU – from Singapore’s greatest poet Boey Kim Cheng to young internationally-celebrated novelists such as Sharlene Teo and Amanda Lee Koe.

The Creative Writing and Publishing course offered by Nanyang Technological University  aims to extend this influence to publishers – a contingent that will not only shape the civic appeal of Singapore literature for decades to come, but fan out across Asia and act as Singapore’s representatives to the rest of the literary and publishing world.

Career Prospects

Professionals and executives currently working in the writing, publishing and editing industry stand to benefit greatly from the enhanced skills and knowledge developed through the programme and can look forward to taking their career to the next level.
