Carla Jenkins

I am represented by Madeleine Milburn. After gaining a distinction for my Masters in Creative Writing (2021), I started a PhD in Creative Writing at the University of Exeter and am currently writing my second novel. Over the past three years, I have experimented with different forms of writing and been placed in the following competitions:
2022 Long Longlisted Brick Lane Short Story Award
2021 Shortlisted for Bridport Short Story Award
2021 Highly Commended Spread the Word Life Writing Prize
2021 Second Place Curtis Brown Cheerio Scholarship
2020 Longlisted for Bridport First Novel Award
I am passionate about how creative writing can be used to improve mental health and regularly run ‘Creative Writing for Wellbeing’ courses and workshops. I also work as a private tutor teaching English.
