"I got published!": Jordan Harcourt-Hughes

We love hearing from our students no matter what they have to say, but when we hear of a student being published, we just want to shout it from the rooftops! We’re a little scared of heights, so we’ll go with a blog post instead.

Jordan says:

I recently published the first book in my magic realism series. Bitroux – Book 1: The Metalsmith is out now on Kindle, and two versions of print – black and white, and the illustrated colour edition. I'm super-proud of this one – as well as the writing the story, I also designed and illustrated the book.

I did two short courses – Creative Writing 1 and 2. They were excellent and really helpful with the nuts and bolts of plot and structure. I had loads of character and world elements but the courses helped discipline me in terms of making the story actually go somewhere!

Congratulations Jordan! Wanna read what she wrote? Buy the book here!
