Sarah Oliver: Professional Writing MA graduate

When I decided to write a biography on Robert Pattinson, the course leader helped me secure an agent and within a month I had a book deal.

MA Professional Writing

Sarah Oliver A professional entertainment journalist and blogger with eight books to her name, and hundreds of red carpets and film premieres under her belt, Sarah attributes her success to her time studying professional writing at Falmouth.

"The course was all about making a living from writing; we were encouraged to be professionals from day one. When I decided to write a biography on Robert Pattinson, the course leader helped me secure an agent and within a month I had a book deal. I love the buzz of walking into Waterstone's and seeing my books on the shelves. I can't stress how the course changed my life. I am a journalist and an author now and that's all I ever wanted to be. My MA was the best investment I've ever made."
