More than 60 books have been published by graduates of the Creative Writing MA at Leeds Trinity University since its launch in 2013. Three of the current cohort will be joining novelist and course leader Martyn Bedford to read from their work and to talk about the ideas that shape their fiction.

Rebecca Ryan, whose first two novels – My (extra)Ordinary Life and The Philosophy of Love – have been published by Simon & Schuster since she began the MA, will share a stage with speculative science-fiction writer Helen McDonald and Ailsa Pater, who is writing a literary murder-mystery.
