Fay Weldon to take creative writing post
Fay Weldon has been appointed professor of creative writing at Brunel University.
The British novelist, playwright, and screenwriter, who was brought up in New Zealand, is famous for her early exploration of women's issues.
She published her 25th novel, She May Not Leave, last September.
She joins novelists Celia Brayfield and Sarah Penny in the expanding creative writing programme at Brunel, which includes a multidisciplinary undergraduate course and a new MA in novel writing to be introduced in the new academic year.
Weldon said: "All writing is creative, to once extent or another. You can't teach people how to write, but you can teach them what and what not to write: the basics of good grammar."
