Dr Joseph Reed

I am a Teaching Associate in Creative Writing and since 2023 have served as Co-Director of the MSt in Creative Writing. 

My main interest as a writer and academic is fiction. I have published three novels and a number of short stories and essays. My work may be primarily classified as literary fiction, though my most recent novel is a piece of speculative fiction (or sci-fi). 

As Co-Director of the MSt in Creative Writing my duties include organising modules and classes for that course, teaching sessions and workshops, supervising students, and conducting open days and interviews. 

I was awarded a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Manchester in 2021 and an MFA in Creative Writing from Syracuse University in 2015. I have taught at both of those institutions. I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education from the University of Cambridge.
