Fiction Writer’s Network<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Fiction Writer’s Network (FiN) is a research group focussing on creative and imaginative writing in prose for either the short story or for longer length works, such as novels or novellas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The membership consists of fiction writers who are lecturers and academics at Edge Hill University, post-graduate students at Edge Hill University and professional writers with links to Edge Hill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The network also works closely with the Edge Hill Short Story Prize (About the prize – The Edge Hill Short Story Prize<\/a>) and works on a number of events every year, such as readings in the Arts Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group is run by Programme Leader Dr Kim Wiltshire, and please visit our Members page to read about current members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
