Masters degree

Hi

I am sure this question will have been asked many times but I keep mulling over whether to do a creative writing masters degree.

My undergrad is not creative writing or English so I might not even be eligible.

My main reason is that I want to be a better writer and to have professional guidance as well as peer support. I understand that at the end of it I will not necessarily be any closer to publication.

I wonder whether anyone who has done such a course or who teaches on one has any advice re the time/money involved/how to choose a course etc.

I am writing short stories at the moment and entering regular competitions. The best I've done is to be long-listed for the Mogford Prize in 2015.

Thanks in advance.
