The Project is to be devised in consultation with the programme convenor. Consider team projects, projects relating to adaptation, translation, performance; to agenting, publishing, bookselling, teaching; to editing on paper and on line. There will be 'established' project work relating to the on-line student magazine, the Resource Centre, PN Review etc. The Project is something the student or group of students devise in response to their own creative interests.
