Honor Gavin

Lecturer in Creative Writing

Dr Honor Gavin takes a multi-platform approach to the creative and the critical, involving music, performance and collaborations with groups such as Theatrum Mundi.

Honor is the author of a monograph on modernist literature and film, and of an exuberant, experimental novel, Midland (2014), which was shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize. Uncommon Building (2017), their most recent publication, documents a collaborative exercise in speculative fiction, a collective 'excavation' of a fictional building. 

Honor joined the Centre for New Writing in 2017, the Centre's tenth anniversary year.
