Chimera Anthology

Chimera is the latest publication from the University of Warwick's MA in Writing programme, an anthology of fiction, non-fiction and poetry written and edited by students on the MA. The anthology presents an opportunity for writers on the programme to gain firsthand experience of the publication process as well as giving them a platform through which to expose their work to potential agents and/or publishers who could help them break into the world of professional writing. 

Created entirely by a self-organised body of students, the anthology will be launched in June 2019 at Waterstones' flagship store in Piccadilly, London. This year, it is composed of work from 41 contributors from a range of genres.

Where Does the Money Go?

Chimera is entirely volunteer-led; all funds donated go towards covering the costs of production, promotion, and other fundraising efforts. Additional funds raised will be given to next year's cohort of MA students to support them in producing their own anthology.

OR you can make a one-off donation towards the production of the book - every penny counts!

*Please keep in mind that these are the prices without the fee that Go Fund Me charges, so additional charges will be made in the transfer*

We will be sending you an email once you have donated to ask for the shipping address for the book, so keep an eye on your inboxes! If you have any questions, you can reach us at [email redacted]!

If you are unable to donate at this time, you can still help the anthology succeed by promoting it—spreading the word about this project, however you can, would be a great way to show your support for a group of talented new writers taking early steps to secure their futures in writing. Thank you so much for your support!
