Mushens Entertainment partners with the University of East Anglia on the Mushens Entertainment Award

We’re delighted to announce that Mushens Entertainment has partnered with the University of East Anglia to offer the Mushens Entertainment Award. The Award will offer £3,000 to a student on the Creative Writing MA in Crime Fiction and the winner will be selected at the halfway point of the two-year course based on the first 10,000 words of their crime novel-in-progress.  

 The Crime Fiction MA was founded in 2015 and has established itself as the most successful academic genre novel writing course in the world, with bestselling and award-winning graduates, which includes Harriet Tyce, Emma Styles, Trevor Wood, and Femi Kayode. The MA prides itself on accessibility, inclusivity, and convention challenging approaches to creative writing and crime fiction. 

  Juliet Mushens said: 

 “The quality of UEA’s crime writing cohort is impressive: we’re delighted to be working with them to help support the next generation of talent.”

 Rachel Neely said:

 “At the agency, we are always blown away by the calibre of the writing in UEA’s MA Crime Writing anthology – the quality of their students is always exceptional. I am thrilled to be launching this partnership with UEA, supporting emerging talent in the crime writing space.”

Professor Henry Sutton, the MA Course Director, said:

“We’re thrilled to have a new partnership with leading literary agency Mushens Entertainment. This highly significant industry endorsement of the course will greatly enable more talented students to achieve the success they deserve. We look forward to working with Juliet Mushens and her team, and to help shape the future of crime fiction.”
