The check-in process was fast, and although parking wasn't free, we were able to leave the car in the garage after we checked out. Great location and lots of shopping close by. Not too far from DC, either! Will definitely stay there again! PS, I worked 7 years in the hospitality business and it's hard to please me, but I loved this place!!!!

Taylor Swift Is Truly America's Sweetheart (She's Dating A Kennedy!)
Every time Taylor Swift shows up in our news feeds it's for one of two reasons: either she's wearing yet another flirty frock (she's a loyal fan of the style) or she's been spotted with a new beau. Well, wouldn't you know, it's been reported that the blonde starlet not only sported one of her go-to dresses, but she's also the subject of another rumored romance. A TayTay double whammy for your Wednesday morn!
As we all know, when Swift settles down, it's not with any fella — she only dates top-tier dudes (Jake Gyllenhaal, John Mayer, Taylor Lautner, etc.). Earlier this summer she was allegedly dating Patrick Schwarzenegger (you know, the son of Cali's former governor) but quickly denied the reports. Now, she's climbed a little bit higher on the political ladder to Conor Kennedy, son of Robert Kennedy Jr. And while Pat had that Camelot connection (mom is Maria Shriver), it seems like Swift wanted to solidify her title as America's sweetheart with direct lineage (and a very well-known last name). She even gushed to Vogue back in January that she was "starstruck" upon meeting Caroline and Ethel Kennedy.
By now, you may be asking yourself, "is this the real deal?" Well, let's just say the two were very hands-on this past weekend at the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport, Massachusetts, and were seen grabbing pizza and leaving church together. The true signs of young love, don't you think? (Daily Mail)

Now, for a limited time customers who purchase or have already purchased any of these Apogee/Waves packages can also take advantage of special deals on popular standalone plugins.
"A good DAC can open up music, allowing subtleties to come through and offering a new listening experience for music stored on a computer or streamed through an app. But a high-quality DAC can be expensive, often costing $1,000 or more. The Groove DAC from Apogee offers many of the upsides for under $300…The company, which has three decades of experience developing technology for recording studios, has built the device to adjust the sound to any type of headphones."
Apogee is proud to have three products nominated in two separate categories for the 31st Annual NAMM Technical Excellence & Creativity awards.

ClipMic digital and MKE 2 digital, the first lavalier microphones to digitally connect to iPhone, co-developed with Sennheiser, are included in the category of Hardware/Peripherals for Smartphones & Tablets.
"Apogee's preamp reputation is second to none; this interface sounds sumptuous and there's no doubt that it will turn the heads of guitar-led producers as much as those requiring more 'regular' microphone and line inputs via its neat and well thought- through re-amping capabilities.
MusiCares provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need. MusiCares' services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies, and each case is treated with integrity and confidentiality. MusiCares also focuses the resources and attention of the music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community.

Apogee's contributions have directly assisted UCLA in successfully launching new programs for elderly and complex patients and helped to further their efforts in educating the next generation of healthcare providers who look after them.
Apogee is pleased to announce the worldwide availability of Groove, a portable headphone amplifier and DAC for Mac and Windows computers that lets you hear your music like artists and audio professionals do in the studio.
Apogee is pleased to introduce MetaRecorder, a two-channel audio recording App for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that will revolutionize mobile audio production for video. MetaRecorder is the first audio recording app for iPhone to offer intuitive multi-take recording, tagging and file organization for any field recording scenario. The perfect companion to Sennheiser's digital clip-on microphones powered by Apogee, MetaRecorder features 24 bit/96kHz recording quality plus software control of input level and recording presets.

1. Introduction
[2] Interpretation of remotely-sensed ocean colour radiometry (OCR) requires knowledge of the bidirectionality of the upward radiative flux. The Q factor that relates upwelling radiance (Lu) to upwelling irradiance (Eu), Q = Eu/Lu, has been studied extensively [Siegel, 1984; Morel and Gentili, 1991, 1993; 1996; Åas and Højerslev, 1999; Loisel and Morel, 2001; Zibordi and Berthon, 2001; Morel et al., 2002; Bulgarelli et al., 2003; Sathyendranath et al., 2004].
[3] Morel and Gentili [1991, 1993, 1996] developed a parameterisation of the Q factor as a function of chlorophyll-a concentration, solar zenith angle and viewing angle, based on Monte Carlo simulations. Limitations of this parameterisation, as acknowledged by the authors, were: (1) the model was designed for case-1 waters (optical properties covary with chlorophyll-a concentration); (2) use of a single volume scattering function regardless of the particle size distribution; and (3) the narrow range of chlorophyll-a concentration (0.03 to 3 mg m−3). The last two limitations were addressed in a subsequent work [Morel et al., 2002] using a phase function that was related to chlorophyll-a concentration and a range of chlorophyll concentrations extending to 10 mg m−3. This work also incorporated Raman scattering, which improved the parameterisation at low chlorophyll-a concentration. Loisel and Morel [2001] studied the Q factor as a function of the total scattering (b) and absorption (a), Q = f(1 + b/a), based on radiative transfer simulations that included case-2 waters (waters in which phytoplankton, detrital and other suspended particles and dissolved organic matter vary independently of each other).
[4] Here, we present a new parameterisation of the Q factor as a function of total backscattering (bb) and absorption coefficients. The use of those two variables is motivated by the following: (1) reflectance is related to a and bb [Morel and Prieur, 1977; Sathyendranath and Platt, 1997]; and (2) many procedures are available to retrieve inherent optical properties (IOP) from reflectance data, in particular total absorption and backscattering coefficients [International Ocean-Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG), 2006].
[5] In this paper, a bivariate polynomial regression is performed on simulated Q data for open-ocean and coastal waters, at various wavelengths and two solar zenith angles. The performance of the new parameterisations is tested against in situ data. Total backscattering at 555 nm is retrieved using the reflectance model of Sathyendranath and Platt [1997] and the new Q-factor parameterisation. Our results are also compared with derivations from the method of Morel et al. [2002], which is designed for case-1 waters.

The older I get, the more things droop…even my earrings. I never used to worry about earring weight, but now I find myself refraining from purchasing so many cute pairs because my ear piercing just won't support anything slightly heavy. Needless to say, I was intrigued by the company Levears – I've tried other types of piercing support, but never anything that was simply a better made earring back. I'm so glad I was able to test Levears because they are truly life changing for those of us with weak piercings!
Levears give earrings the support they need so they don't droop/flip/pull on your ear lobes. They work for pretty much any post earrings – the uniquely designed backs redistribute the earring weight so it's fully supported with proper leverage.
I find the backs as easy to put on as regular earring backs…nothing complicated or fancy in any way. They are extremely comfortable and give instant gratification. I have pictured some of my heavier post earrings that I don't even wear because they droop so badly – look at the difference!
I honestly can't recommend Levears highly enough. They make an incredible difference and couldn't be easier to use. They come in three different types of metal – sterling silver ($49.99), 14K yellow gold ($175) and 14K white gold ($175). With long hair, my earring backs never show so the sterling silver works with all my earrings. If you have shorter hair you might want to consider the more expensive pairs to perfectly match your earrings.
Levears was even featured on Oprah, so you know they are amazing. You can find them online at levears.com. – Lisa

"There ain't nothin' more powerful than the odor of mendacity." This one line offers up the theme of Tennessee William's renowned Cat on a Hot Tin Roof in ten simple words. But, as evidenced in the Keegan Theatre's sparkling production, there is nothing simple about the relationships on this Mississippi estate.
First look at the new Keegan Theatre, opening June 27
After a spectacular $4.4 million renovation, the historic Keegan Theatre will reopen on June 27 for the first preview of Tennessee Williams classic, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. "When theatergoers enter Keegan's new space, I think they will be impressed that the intimacy, warmth and character of the building have remained," says Mark Rhea, […]
DC Theatre Scene celebrates its tenth year
Ten Years and Counting, DC Theatre Scene is Still Going Strong One June evening in 2005, a woman named Noelle Wilson walks into the Gunston Arts Center's Theater II to watch a production of The American Century Theater's The Emperor Jones. She watches ATC's take on the seldom-produced O'Neill play, notes the performances of Bus […]
Keegan Theatre reveals plays for its first year in the new theatre
Even as construction continues on schedule for the opening of their newly renovated theatre, Keegan Theatre staff have been working out details on their upcoming season, with more announcements yet to come.
Irish Carol opens as construction continues on new Keegan theatre
Keegan Theatre's Church Street home may be still under construction but the show must go on. The show is Keegan's annual seasonal offering An Irish Carol. Thanks to a generous partnership, Keegan can present the show at Theater J with the proceeds going to their ongoing capital campaign.
Midsummer Night's Riot, another hit for Keegan
The great Northern Irish golf pro Rory McIlroy, who drove a golf ball forty yards at the age of two and thereafter slept with a golf club, fingers interlaced so that he could memorize the proper grip, had his marriage proposal to Danish tennis pro Carolyn Wozniacki interrupted when a loud drunk wandered on to […]
Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight
So what do you scream out in the throes of ecstasy? Should a person get a freedom-to-express pass even when the turn-on becomes racially or otherwise offensive? Is nasty necessarily exciting? Keegan's new play asks us to take a look at our most secret desires, and, as it spills out intimate details about bedroom mores, […]
With HAIR sold out, and new construction this summer, Keegan enters its own Age of Aquarius
"This is our crowning achievement," Mark A. Rhea told me the day after I had seen Hair at Keegan Theatre. I saw the show on a Wednesday night, at one of the performances that had been added to a run extended through Apr. 27th. The house was full and very enthusiastic.
Flower power is in full bloom at the Keegan Theatre and it's pretty damn groovy. Keegan Theatre on Church Street NW has been transformed into a hippie's paradise, like a found loft in the East Village, appointed with mismatched furniture, rope swings, and cozy grottos where love is love and love-making is always a possibility.
Hair at Keegan – Exclusive rehearsal photos
I was lucky enough to sit in on the first few hours of tech for Keegan Theatre's upcoming production of Hair. For any show, the first day of tech is a giant leap: The work lights are turned off, the stage lights are turned on. The cast gets a first taste of what it is […]

otter's up
Hello, Ursaring is fully written up and awaiting its last QC check, thanks ^_^
Hihi; Regice is now in skeleton form, ready to be looked at by QC! :)
Also, I don't mean to continue pestering about this, but Phione and Dunsparce are only one check away from being written; pretty simple Pokemon, not a lot to analyze, so if a QC can get them rolling, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :]
Golurk has been sitting around for a while now and a QC check is appreciated so I can write it up, thanks
Someone really needs to take over these analyses, especially the first two since they're major Pokemon in the meta.
Edit: also please don't be afraid to vm QC members for checks, or ask in #neverused. Current members that will generally get shit done: me, Treecko, EBeast, Raseri, FLCL.
Weezing is now in skeleton form and is ready for some Quality Check checks.
I already reserved Scolipede, but if someone wanted to grab Musharna, that'd be swell.
Echoing this. Asking in #neverused is better for me so that you can catch me realtime, since when I get VMs, I check them when I first log on and don't feel like QCing anything.
I'll reserve Rotom-F then, I'll do it after I'm done with Golurk
Golurk is written up and ready for its 3rd QC check
Jynx is finished!
A WIP for Ludicolo should also be up sometime today.
Golurk is ready for GP
Ludicolo (WIP) is now up.
Rotom-F skeleton is now up
I'll reserve Musharna. I also plan on reserving Natu once I can get the third QC for Butterfree.
Hihi! I'm reserving Ninjask.
Hi guys, can we follow the OP when posting in here and only post to reserve a Pokemon, when its skeleton is up and ready for GP, and when the analysis is ready to go onsite please? It just causes clutter otherwise. Thanks!
Ok @ Treecko
Can't edit my other post; I'm also reserving Alomomola.
Samurott is ready for upload. I'll try to get Scolipede up tonight and I'll take Eelektross.
Hey guys, longtime lurker; just recently created an account. I noticed all the unreserved C&C analyses and wanted to help (NU is my favorite meta). Anyway, I'd like to reserve Liepard
Place don't listen to this. The more posts you have in here the easier it is for me to update this. sry treecko :(
In that case, Weezing is ready for the final QC check.
Liepard's skeleton is posted
hi friends
Scolipede skeleton is up!
Reserving the manliest of all mons
Hihi; Ninjask is in skeleton form for QC! :)

@M Gale Re: Hang on, what?
I agree, at that price point I would describe it as upper mid-range at least. One can after all get a GS4 for about £450 and that is about the highest end conventional* Android phone currently available. A phone that costs a touch over three quarters of the latest Galaxy S is scarcely cheap. I would however slightly rephrase your comment by saying that as far as I am concerned, at that price "it better be good"!
*To distinguish the slot the GS4 occupies from the current crop of FEMPs. (Fucking Enormous Mobile Phones).

The Apollo 15 fell from the sky while "What's Going On" plays over the airwaves. The year was 1971, Jim Morrison drew his last breath and Brian Maloney took his first. Music is in his blood - sharing lineage with musicians Frank Maloney, Crystal Gayle and Loretta Lynn. In 1975 he was seen standing on a bench instantly drawn in by "Money" performed by the infamous Pink Floyd. At that moment music became as important as breath.
Similar to many other musicians, Brian cut his teeth in the church. He sang in choirs and performed solo. This lead to him collaborating with other musicians and writing his own material by the age of 14. Years later - it was 1992 - he formed his first full band Occidental Ox [http://www.angelfire.com/in2/occidentalox/]. They were a group out of Alton, IL, and had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Judge Nothing, Autumn Clock, Inch rist, as well as many others.
Soon after the time came for a new project. Brian joined forces with William Moxham, David Johnston and Ben Patel forming The Simple Story. Even though it was an intense year of solid recording, they only had the opportunity to play on stage together very few times before finding themselves on different paths.
Brian Maloney is currently touring in Ireland.

Absolutely love this dicing kit. I mostly use it to make Russian style salads like vinegret and olivier. The 10 mm size is very good for these salads. Also very good for making fruit salads. This kit is an unbelievable time saver, too. Highly recommend.

We do not agree with Dr Josephson that potassium infusion is "accepted therapy" in digoxin overdose, even though poisoned membrane transport is associated with reduced intracellular potassium levels. Potassium therapy in the presence of borderline or frank hyperkalemia is a two-edged sword whose possibly favorable therapeutic effects (raised threshold of myocardial excitation)1 are balanced by (1) accentuation of underlying conduction defects,2 (2) failure to repair the faulty ATPase-dependent membrane transport system, and (3) risk of complete loss of cardiac electrical activity, such that pacemaker therapy is ineffective in initiating a contractile response.3 Potassium infusion in massive digoxin overdose is contraindicated as a blind maneuver and potentially hazardous in the face of high-normal to elevated serum potassium levels. This treatment would be indicated in the presence of hypokalemia or low-normal potassium levels, though only with continuous ECG monitoring.Our patient was treated with hemodialysis to reduce

We recently stayed at the Westin Tampa Bay. The hotel was perfectly located, the staff was firendly and helpful and the room was fantastic. It was spacious and very clean. The only downside to the entire experience was the buffet breakfast. There really wasn't much to choose from, especially give the price. It would have made more sense to go out and grab a bite.
But other than that, and considering everything, that was a very small thing, I would recommend staying at the Westin Tampa Bay if your headed to that area.

On Thursday, June 23, 2016 our fifth graders attended their moving up ceremony with all their family members in attendance. It was a proud moment for all! We know you will all do great things in the future and we look forward to hearing about them. We will miss you all! Have a great Summer!
Lee Avenue fourth graders stepped back in time this week! They visited the Raynham Hall Museum in Oyster Bay. Raynham Hall was the home of Robert Townsend, a spy for George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
Students at Lee Avenue are bucket fillers! Each month we acknowledge students for being "bucket fillers". During the school year we are encouraging, reminding and recognizing everyone's efforts to be bucket fillers at home, at school and everywhere else. Students are developing good character skills with our bucket filler program. This month our bucket filler is Ryan K. who is in Mrs. Brinkmann's class. Congratulations Ryan!
Students in Mrs. Mauro's class wore red noses today. The red noses are meant to bring awareness to all charities beneficial to children.
Students in grades 1-5 from across Long Island as well as in City schools, participated in The World Food Day Essay Contest. The topic was "How Can We Inspire People to Stop World Hunger?" We are proud to announce that three of our students took top honors! Anna V. from Ms. D'Antonio's class won first place and a $100 prize. Felicity B. also from Ms. D'Antonio's class won second place and Zahel N. from Ms. Kelly's class won honorable mention. Congratulations!
Our Spring Concert was wonderful! The students performed beautifully. Many thanks to our music teachers Ruth Davidowitz, Michael Caruso and Frank Barbera for all their work preparing the students for the performance.
Ms. Kolinsky transformed her art classroom into an art museum for the week of Expo and created a visual literacy lesson for the students in grades 2-5. The students walked around the classroom with clipboards and a handout that asked students to write about the artwork they liked the best. They needed to describe in detail what they liked about the artwork, who the artist was and what the medium of the artwork was. This was a great opportunity for the students to learn how to visually read and analyze the art projects by writing about them.
Lee Avenue students enjoyed an assembly featuring singer JLine and the JLine dance crew, who shared an anti-bullying message through song, dance, and speaking to the audience about their experiences with being bullied or befriending someone who was being bullied when they were in school.
Fourth Grade students participated in a national math competition titled Noetic Learning Math Contest (NLMC). The purpose of the contest is to inspire young students' interest in math and convey the message, "It is COOL to be good at math!" Congratulations to our winner Peter B.

TDK Boombox, Sound Cube and Weatherproof speakers pictures and hands-onPocket-lint
TDK has announced four new speakers designed to be used with your mobile phone, be it the latest Android offering or the iPhone, at IFA in Berlin, and we were on hand to check them out.
The models - the Wireless Weatherproof Speaker, Wireless Boombox, Wireless Sound Cube and Wireless Charging Speaker - all come with Bluetooth A2DP connectivity and are designed to fit into some part of your life, whoever you are.
The TDK Life on Record Wireless Boombox has a built-in rechargeable battery and a 2.1 stereo configuration. FM radio, remote control, 3.5mm stereo auxiliary input and an integrated carrying handle complete the package, which costs £279.99.
The TDK Life on Record Wireless Sound Cube meanwhile is designed more for the home. It costs £229.99 and, as the name suggests, sports more of a cubed design.
For those who like to go outside, there is the TDK Life on Record Wireless Weatherproof Speaker. It costs £199.99 while the TDK Life on Record Wireless Charging Cube provides cable-free charging for the home or office.
"Simply place your Qi-compatible mobile device on top of the cube and it charges your device while playing your music," says the company. To you and me, that means there is an induction charging pad built into the top surface of the 2.1 speaker.

Like other Native American poets such as N. Scott Momaday, Simon Ortiz and Leslie Marmon Silko, Joy Harjo writes in an effort to re-establish lost connections: with the sacred land, with powerful ancestors, and with fellow searchers along the margins of contemporary life. She also plays in a band called Poetic Justice.
What People are Saying
"While the competition and chance to recite is wonderful in itself, there is a very strong camaraderie among the competitors like nothing I've experienced before. It's the kind of environment that has inspired me and allowed me to grow not only as a reciter but also as a poet, performer, and person."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Stepping out of a narrow, winding street in the heart of Pernes you find yourself in a scene from the Arabian Nights-or might it be Petarch? An enclosed courtyard holds a spring fed pool, a wide terrace, greenery galoore, a wooden pergola, romantic lighting: poetry that on a warm summer's night would melt the heart of the toughest pragmatist. From here into the 21st century: a cool haven of space with an airy feel, a minimalist decor, earth colours, natural fabrics, and plain good taste.
Quirky touches too. You'll want to stay a while to experience both world's the ice-cube lamps against old stonework, the Art Deco style and the abstract art. Comfortable bedrooms have quiet style, the excellent kitchen has an extraordinary quantity of of crockery, cutlery, platters and baskets, and the living area's 30's style leather sofas open arms to a superior music system: the owner is a professional trombonist.
Just up from the market square : yet quieter than the countryside: no tractors, no roosters. Fine dining, festivals great and small, history, art and winegrowers are all around you. beautifully converted 18th Century stone barn situated in a typically Provencal village in the heart of the Vaucluse.
La Saga is a very large converted barn situated in the ancient village of Pernes Les Fontaines. The house is entered through a gate from a typically old narrow street in the village. A stunning courtyard with a swimming pool is overlooked by the 3 storey house.
The house has been designed for enjoyment and indulgence. The floors are traditional stone throughout and there is electric central heating.
This is an ideal house for you to unwind from the fast pace of your professional lives or indeed for a more mature group of people to spend time enjoying the surroundings of the Vaucluse and Luberon countryside and relaxing around the pool. It is a perfect place from which to explore the surrounding ancient cities and indulge in the cultural events of Provence.
Keywords: Village House
I am a professional trombonist working in the field of pop and TV and film in London. I am a big fan of Earth Wind and Fire and I run my own band playing their music. I have put some of my old instruments on the walls in the house and the CD and DVD cupboards are full of Movies and Albums that I have performed on. There is also about 70 or so cookbooks in an other cupboard as I believe music and food are made for each other. I now believe that music food and France are made for each other!
Pete Beachill purchased this house in 2002
I first travelled to the area in 2000 on holiday and fell in love with it. I kept returning to try and find my ideal home. In 2003 after seeing many different properties by chance I came across La Saga. The house had been lovingly converted restored and modernized from an old sheep barn. The previous owner was an architect so the design and layout was all done to a very high standard. I came over from England with a car full of Farrow and Ball paint in all my favourite colors and decided to put my stamp on the house. I still change things every time I visit and my home is a passion for me. After many trips to the area I decided that I really wanted to stay here as much as I could.
Cycling, walking by the canal, the markets, the food, the weather, the people, the peace and quiet are all the things that make me smile when I am at La Saga.
We (age 9 to 85) just spent a wonderful week at La Saga. The town is charming, the residents were friendly, and everyone loved the fresh foods from the local farmers markets.
La Saga itself is wonderful. The house is clean, and spacious, with great breezes. Everyone enjoyed cooking on the six burner stove/double oven, and in the outdoor kitchen. The pool is the perfect size to cool off in, but too small if you are looking to swim laps. The owners have a hard cover House Book explaining how to use all the appliances (gourmet stove, dish washer, outdoor oven/grill, washer and dryer), offer suggestions regarding restaurants and markets, as well as vineyards.
The location is ideal if you are the adventurous type. We did group trips (kayaking) within twenty minutes of the house, and serious hiking within an hours drive. Everyone loved trips through lavender fields, vineyards, and Roman ruins.
We only wish we could have stayed longer to explore Provence even further.

Thank you for your blog and insight. When I decided on a VCH piercing I researched your blog and found infinate piercings in Philly to be reputable and only about 2 hours away from me. I had her done at the end of October. They were excellent, professional, clean...wonderful experience. I guess my question to you is now that I feel I've healed, when I look at correct vch piercings mine looks different. It seems to stick out more than others. Now I do realize anotomy is different so I try not to let it bother me, however it appears correct from the view I sent, according to your dots I see you mark on others photos. The side view shows it doesn't seem flush with the skin like others are. (She likes to lean to one side...ha) Could it possibly be pierced wrong? Perhaps I need a larger gauge. I was pierced at 12 and just ordered a 10 to stretch so perhaps that may help? Thanks for your time.
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
GREAT for healing and troubled piercings.

I am trying to implement error handling in below function. My problem is that I need to unwrap Future[Either[Exception,MyValue]] and test for "Right" every time I what to use the MyValue as a param.
The strategy is to let the Future.flow fail if any of the f1 to f4 fails.
One solution is to pass the Either[Exception,MyValue] as a param to the funcReturnFutureEitherX() like funcReturnFutureEither3(f2()) but this just propagate the error handling downwards instead of handling it in the main program MyFlowFunc().
How do I implement error handling in the below function and keep it running none blocking ?
def MyFlowFunc():Future[(MyValue,MyValue,MyValue,MyValue)] =
val v = Future.flow {
// fail flow if below functions fails with a Either.Left()
val f1 = funcReturnFutureEither1()
val f2 = funcReturnFutureEither2(f1())
val f3 = funcReturnFutureEither3(f2())
val f4 = funcReturnFutureEither4(f1())
val res = (f1(),f2(),f3(),f4())
def funcReturnEitherX(val:MyValue):Future[Either[Exception,MyValue]]

Creative Writing (Novels) MA
At the end of the Creative Writing (Novels) MA course, you will be very different; you will have written a novel.
This course is designed to provide a supportive and thought-provoking, yet challenging, environment for novelists to develop their skills, experiment with approaches to writing, learn about the industry and, most importantly, complete a polished novel ready to send to publishers and agents.
At the core of the Creative Writing (Novels) course is the experience of established writers. Everyone who teaches on this MA course is a working, published novelist.
And we want to get you published. See our full list of our published alumni.
The MA Creative Writing (Novels) allows you to focus on one of two areas: Literary Novels or Crime Thriller Novels.
We offer you:
- An ideal location - Last year over 10,000 novels were published in the UK, making London the world capital of publishing. Because we are London-based, students have access to a wide range of contemporary novelists and to significant agents and major publishers, find out more about our links to agents and publishers.
- Top speakers - We regularly invite leading novelists to visit the University for informal Q&A sessions. In the last few years, this has included Lionel Shriver, A.M.Homes, Sarah Waters, Mohsin Hamid, Hilary Mantel, and Jonathan Coe; and in Crime Writing: Val McDermid, Mark Billingham, Sophie Hannah, S.J.Bolton and Jake Arnott. View an update on our latest guest speakers.
- Top tutors - All our students are mentored by leading novelists. Currently this includes Sadie Jones, Sarah Waters, Monica Ali, Julie Myerson, Evie Wyld and Joshua Ferris. See the full list of who is teaching this year.
- Completion of a novel - Through a combination of workshops, intense and focused one-to-one tutorials, group discussions and Q&As, you will be encouraged and supported until your novel is written. Find out more detail on precisely how the programme is structured.
Watch this video for an insight into this course
Crime Thriller Writing course specialism
City University London is the first university in the UK to offer an MA which allows you to focus exclusively on Crime Thriller Writing.
This approach to the MA - as with our literary novelists - starts with workshops and seminars, and then builds to the completion of a full-length Crime Thriller novel. Our first cohort of students graduated in Autumn 2014.
We employ leading names in Crime and Thriller Writing to lead workshops and to serve as tutors and mentors. Current tutors include Claire McGowan, Laura Wilson, and William Ryan. View the full list of our Crime Thriller tutors. We also have strong links with editors and agents who specialise in crime writing and want to see your novel.
The Crime Thriller Writing course looks at all the key sub-genres from police procedurals to psychological thrillers, concentrating on how to craft a convincing plot, what creates contemporary suspense, and new ways to tackle new crimes.
The Crime Thriller genre is the most popular in the world. Sales of crime thriller fiction rose by 80% in the UK alone in the last decade. There is much talk that we are entering a second golden age of crime writing. At City University London, our unique course allows you to follow the same rigorous programme as the literary cohort, which has been specially adapted to help you create a crime novel that's ready for the market.

Course Fees:
- Full-time EU: £6,000
- Full-time Non EU: £7,750
Start Date:
September 2016
Entry Requirements
You will usually have a Bachelor degree, in any subject. But successful completion of a certificate course in creative writing or relevant experience is equally acceptable. The prime criteria are proven writing ability and a commitment to devoting two years to completing a novel. You will be required to submit a sample of your writing and to attend an interview or (if overseas) to participate by telephone.
The writing sample should be 5,000 words at most. Ideally it would be a section - probably the opening - of a novel, but it is equally acceptable if it is a short story. Shorter length pieces may also be submitted but as this is a course which focuses on writing a full-length novel (minimum 60,000 words), the more sustained the writing sample, the better.
English Requirements
For students whose first language is not English, an IELTS score of at least 7.0 is required (with 7.0 in the writing component).
Please note that due to changes in the UKVI's list of SELTs we are no longer able to accept TOEFL as evidence of English language for students who require a CAS as of April 2014.
Visa Requirements
If you are not from the European Economic Area / Switzerland and you are coming to study in the UK you may need to apply for a visa or entry clearance to come to the UK to study.
The way that you apply may vary depending on the length of your course; there are different rules for:
- Students on courses of more than 6 months
- Students on courses of less than 6 months
- Students on a pre-sessional English Language course
Please note: If you require a Tier 4 student visa to study in the UK, you cannot undertake any City University London courses on a part-time basis.

Course Content
The course is designed for writers with some experience who would now like to go the extra mile and complete a novel. We do not therefore teach or examine short stories. This is a course for people who want to write full-length novels.
Most importantly, every year, an anthology of excerpts from all the students' novels is published in the final term: this is presented in a showcase evening and then distributed to every literary agent in London and, for overseas students, the agents in their home cities, as well (in the recent past our anthology has been sent to New York, Toronto and Sydney).
The course encourages you to be ambitious and imaginative in your writing. This course focuses either on the Literary Novel or the Crime Thriller Novel (students must choose at the outset which they would like to focus on). Within the field of Literary, there are many possible styles, approaches and forms; within Crime, everything from the police procedural to combat thriller, from psychological to cyber thriller, will be addressed.
Our ethos is excellence and diversity, with an emphasis on recruiting students of different ages and from a wide range of backgrounds.
In November 2011, The Guardian ranked City's Creative Writing MA in the top three writing courses in Britain (alongside UEA and Bath Spa).
After coming into contact with students on City's Creative Writing MA, I was extremely impressed both with their talent and their level of commitment. Standards are exceptionally high: I could immediately tell that I was dealing with writers of enormous potential, and that this potential was being fully recognised and encouraged by the tutors. I could hardly think of a better environment in which to hone the craft of writing.

Course Structure
- Fundamentals of fiction and experiments in style
- Experiments of Style
- Storytelling
- Reading as Writer
- Complete novel.
This is a two-year course. Each year consists of three ten-week terms.
During Terms 1 and 2, workshops, lectures and tutorials are held on two evenings a week. These are principally concerned with extending your skills, understanding of the novel form and awareness of creative possibilities; along with analysing the work of leading writers and exploring that work through a variety of exercises, all of which are designed to 'put aside your default writing style' and encourage you to experiment with all the other possible approaches to writing fiction.
All workshops are based round the students' own writing for assignments. We also closely analyse published novels: this isn't literary criticism, this involves taking apart novels as you might take apart a clock too see how it works. We aim to give students the confidence to start writing their novels in exactly the voice and structure which suits their story and story-telling abilities.
Throughout both years, there are Q&A sessions with visiting novelists - recently we have heard from Joshua Ferris, Stef Penney, Clare Clark, Justin Cartwright, Chris Cleave, Adam Thirlwell and Linda Grant.
In Terms 3, 4 and 5, you work principally on your own novel with the support of one-to-one tutorials and participation in student-led workshops. You are allocated two tutors: one from within the course team and one external tutor - often chosen to specifically suit the style or subject of your proposed novel. For each tutorial, you submit 10,000 words which is read and annotated in advance by the tutor - then discussed at length in the tutorial.
In Term 6 (the final term), the lectures and Q&As focus on visits from agents, publishers and other industry professionals. These sessions aim to provide you with knowledge and understanding of the publishing industry and of the business aspects of being a writer. They will also provide you with the skills and understanding necessary to promote a novel to the media and the public.
Most workshops and exercises take place in groups of approximately fourteen students.

Teaching and Assessment
Teaching on the Creative Writing (Novels) course is based around a mix of practical workshops, seminars and lectures.
All this is supported by one-to-one tutorials and by independent study: notably reading and preparing presentations on set texts and performing set writing exercises. As the course progresses, the emphasis shifts to independent study and is supported by workshops and one-to-one tutorials.
Central to all three Creative Writing MA courses is the requirement to finish a full-length novel, memoir, play or screenplay.

Career Prospects

You will be supported and helped with your writing throughout the programme and towards the end of the course we invite agents, publishers and industry professionals for guest lectures and Q&As.
The focus is on for you to finish a novel and use City's unparalleled industry links to help start our literary career as a published novelist.
