The team currently comprises ten members of staff, all of whom are research and/or professionally active and play a part in delivering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The Creative Writing Programmes at LJMU offers students the opportunity to write creatively as well as reflecting critically on process. The department is developing its strategic priorities in research, postgraduate provision, internationalisation, public engagement, and enterprise activity.
