Teaching a Chicken to Swim celebrates the work of nineteen graduates of the Masters in Writing course at the University of Glamorgan, among them Maria McCann, Richard John Evans, Pamela Johnson and Dan Rhodes.

"The University of Glamorgan is immensely proud of its Masters in Writing graduates, and with reason... several of these writers are already making a stir in the review columns... Now the voices of these gifted, exciting writers are ready to speak to their readers, off the page." – Helen Dunmore.
