Karen Fielding and Sarah Leipciger graduated from the MA in Creative and Life Writing and have since published their first novels. Come and meet them, listen to their work and find out how it all turned out…

Karen Fielding has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism from Boston University and an MA in Creative Writing from Goldsmiths. Fielding's work has appeared in various literary journals, anthologies, and newspapers; American Sycamore is her first novel and recipient of the Independent Publisher's Gold Award for Best Fiction 2015 in the mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. Fielding lives in London with her husband. They have two grown children and a dog.

Sarah Leipciger was born in Canada and studied Creative Writing at the University of Victoria on Vancouver Island and an MA in Creative Writing at Goldsmiths. Previously a short story writer, she has been shortlisted for prizes such as the Bridport Prize, Fish Prize and Asham Award. Her first novel, The Mountain Can Wait, was published in May 2015. She is now writing her second novel and lives in London with her husband and three children — and possibly a dog but the jury is still out on that one.
