Hi, I’m James Smart
I am a graduate of the MFA in Creative Writing at UEA. I am a short story writer from Barnsley who loves language and what words can do! My stories have been published in the UK and abroad: I was shortlisted for The Commonwealth Short Story Prize, won the award for best new writer with US journal Glimmertrain, I have been nominated twice for the Pushcart Prize and once for the Best of the Net award. I live in Norwich and love making things, exploring new places, and teaching creative writing!
