348- ] English Literature
Jon McGregor
I have been a Professor
of Creative Writing at the University of Nottingham since 2012. Prior to this,
I spent a decade developing a professional career as a writer of fiction, and
continue to develop that practice alongside my university research and
teaching.
I have published five
novels and two short story collections, and won awards including the Dublin
Literature Prize and Costa Novel Award. I have also participated in several
residencies, writing workshops, mentorships, and prize juries.
I regularly participate
in literary festivals and conferences, and have a particular interest in
exploring new forms of literary performance and live audience engagement.
Expertise Summary
My main areas of research
and teaching are in the forms, practices, and critical reception of
contemporary literary fiction. I am regularly invited to participate in the
judging of major literary prizes, which gives me access to and influence over
contemporary literary debate:
2021 Rathbones Folio
Prize
2019 David Cohen Prize
for Literature
2017 BBC National Short
Story Award
