I\u2019ve realised that the best courses do indeed do a stunning job for<em>&nbsp;a proportion of<\/em>&nbsp;their students. UEA can boast of the following alumni: Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Anne Enright, Tracy Chevalier, and plenty of others.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bathspa.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bath Spa<\/a>&nbsp;says, \u2018Two [of our recent students] were long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, three for the Orange Prize, one for the Costa Prize and one for the Guardian First Book Award.\u2019 Those are strikingly good achievements.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I\u2019m still sceptical. A minority of talented writers may bloom to a wonderful degree and go on to have long writing careers.
